A well-designed introduction to experimental and theoretical nuclear physics that will help graduate students and researchers alike bridge the gap between what is known about nucleon-meson nuclear physics and what will be learned from future research in quark-lepton nuclear physics. The book describes nuclear physics in terms of hadron-meson dynamics and then in terms of quark-lepton dynamics. Chapters cover such topics as elastic and inelastic scattering, spin-isospin responses and charge exchange reactions, giant resonances, nuclear clusters, and nuclear physics with strange flavor. The book covers each subject from the experimental and theoretical point of view and each chapter, written by a leaders in the field, includes enough prerequisite material to make the subject matter easily accessible to graduate-level students as well as researchers changing fields.
