Nuclear and Particle Physics both have been very distinct subjects for

decades, and are now developing more and more interfaces. Thus, hitherto

typical methods of particle physics are adopted by nuclear physics. The

authors try to build bridges between both fields and give

nuclear physicists a thorough introduction from the fundamentals

of particle physics to current research in this field. Contents: - Introduction - Preliminaries and Simple Models - Currents, Anomaly,

Solitons, and Fractional Fermions - More on Chiral Symmetry -

Introduction to Instantons - Relevance of Instantons - Chiral

Perturbation Theory - The Topological and Non-Topological Soliton

Model - QCD Sum Rules - References
