Text of Note

This volume gives a borad overview on symmetry methods ypplied to molecular and nuclear physics, to particle physics, decay processes, and phase space dynamics. The thoroughly edited contributions should be of interest not only to scientists but also to thos that want to see how symmetry considerations are put to work in twentieth century physics.
