This symposium on Reflections and Directions in Low Energy Heavy-Ion Physics celebrates twenty years of the University Isotope Separator at Oak Ridge (UNISOR) and ten years of the Joint Institute for Heavy Ion Research (JIHIR).

The papers included here deal with the many faces of renormalization group formalism as it is used in different branches of theoretical physics.

This volume contains papers from the lectures and seminars given at the School.

These proceedings focus on contemporary fast neutron physics and include the recent progress and new achievements in fast neutron scattering, energy spectrum, nuclear fission, y-ray spectroscopy and (n,y) reaction mechanism, nuclear theory, activation cross sections, nuclear reactions and intermediate energy neutron physics.

Recent experimental investigations of deep inelastic scattering, baryon form factors and high momentum transfer nuclear reactions have revealed many unexpected phenomena that suggest deep relationships between nucleon structure, hadronic spectroscopy and quantum chromodynamics.

These proceedings cover the following topics: Regular and chaotic motion in nuclei; Symmetry violations in statistical nuclear reactions; From nuclear forces to statistical matrix elements; From single step to compound nuclear reactions; Medium energy nuclear reactions; Nucleus-nucleus collisions and nuclear fission.

The subject of this Institute is the importance of Spin and Symmetry measurements in probing the Standard Model and QCD, polarization in lepton-quark interactions, nucleon spin structure functions, spin effects in high energy hadronic interactions, and electromagnetic spin physics at medium energies.

This volume collects the papers presented at the "e;Specialists' Meeting on Nuclear Level Densities"e;, held in Bologna 15 - 17 November, 1989, which gathered most of the scientists working in the field.

These proceedings provide a general summary of the theoretical and experimental results which have established QCD as the theory of the strong interactions in the past 20 years.

This volume gives a detailed account of the current trends in the interface areas of medium and high energy nuclear physics.
