This volume contains the Proceedings of the fifth SLAC Summer Institute on Particle Physics which was held at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center July 11-22, 1977. The topic for this year's Institute, "Quark Spectroscopy and Hadron Dynamics," was covered by usage of the format of previous years with a one-week long intense, pedagogic review of the material followed by a three-day topical conference. The Institute was attended by 317 physicists from 18 countries. Over half of the participants were experimentalists. The meeting derives its importance not only from the topicality of the subjects and the high quality of the lectures, but also from the fact that there are few continuing meetings in the United States in which the frontiers of the field are regularly reviewed and which make a positive effort to encourage strong participation from the experimental physicist community The lectures covered the spectroscopy of quarks and leptons, discussed why the quarks are not observed freely in nature, and reviewed the properties of hadronic systems built from the various quark building blocks. Once again, the afternoon discussion sessions were well attended and provided an opportunity for informal, and often exciting, exchanges of ideas on the day's lecture material. During the topical conference there were fifteen reports on the leading work in the field with many last minute results from SPEAR, DORIS, and FNAL. Separate abstracts were prepared for the 20 lectures presented. (JFP)
