Quarks Bound by Chiral Fields : The Quark Structure of the Vacuum and of Light Mesons and Baryons

All elementary particles are made up of even more elementary constituents called quarks. Even the physical vacuum has a quark structure. This book is an introduction to the models used to describe the observed particles and the restoration of chiral symmetry at high temperatures and densities, and provides a useful overview of the modern techniques used in this area of particle physics.
