G E Brown and A D Jackson Amsterdam: North Holland, New York: American Elsevier 1976 pp viii + 242 price Dfl.50, $19.95 This book, which is based on a series of lecture courses given by the authors, gives a comprehensive and very detailed account of the theory of the nucleon-nucleon interaction. It is the view of the authors that the main features of the interaction can now be reasonably well understood in terms of a relatively parameter-free field theoretical approach, and their prime concern in the book is to put together a compendium of the very extensive associated 'technology'.
