In recent years a new direction of research has emerged at the boundary between elementary particle physics and atomic spectroscopy: the investigation of weak interactions by optical methods. These studies have led to the discovery of parity nonconservation in atomic transitions, which has served as one of the first decisive confirmations of the unified model of electroweak interactions. This book offers a coherent picture of a subject which spans a wide range of areas of physics, from elementary particles and nuclei to atoms and molecules. The author considers the effects of space-inversion and time-reversed violation in atoms, molecules and condensed matter. He has produced a work for theoreticians and experimentalists alike, specializing in atomic, nuclear, and elementary particle physics. Abstracts have been prepared for each of the 13 chapters of this book.
