Topics covered include: introductory cosmic rays; the galaxy and the interstellar medium; extragalactic cosmic rays; sidereal daily variations in cosmic ray intensity and their relationship to solar modulation and galactic anisotropies; energy spectrum and mass composition of cosmic ray nuclei from 10/sup 12/ to 10/sup 20/ eV; nuclear mass composition at ''Low'' energies (i.e., less than 10/sup 12/ eV/nucleon); nucleosynthesis and galactic cosmic rays; galactic structure, magnetic fields and cosmic ray containment; galactic propagation of cosmic rays below 10/sup 14/ eV; possible explanations of the spectral shape; the cosmic ray electron component; gamma ray astrophysics; observation of celestial gamma rays; collapsed stars, pulsars and the origin of cosmic rays; historical searches for supernovae; supernovae and the origin of cosmic rays (I); supernovae and the origin of cosmic rays (II), a model of cosmic ray production in supernovae.
