This volume contains the proceedings of the topical conference on Physics with Polarized Beams on Polarized Targets held at McCormick's Creek State Park in Spencer, Indiana, October 16-18, 1989. This is the sixth in a series of conferences on various topics organized by the Indiana University Cyclotron facility, the last having been held in 1985. The conference was attended by 116 physicists from 7 countries. In particular it was the author's pleasure to host 5 scientists from the Soviet Union. The authors hope that the author's colleagues from the U.S.S.R. will be able to continue coming to meetings in the west and that in the future their attendance will not be so notable, having become standard practice. The topic of the conference was chosen to highlight the interesting physics that is being done with polarized beams and polarized targets (where the and is meant to be a logic operator). By selecting a topic centered on a technique the authors were able to bring together physicists from a number of subfields, including low- and intermediate-energy nuclear physics, and particle physics. The physics also covered a broad range of topics, including work to investigate fundamental symmetries of nature, the structure of nucleons, nucleon-nucleon interactions, nuclear structure, and more. The author's purpose in having such a broadly defined conference was to encourage the exchange of ideas and information among the participants from the various subfields with different primary interests, and hopefully to stimulate new ideas.
