From 1964–1972, Stephen L Adler wrote seminal papers on high-energy neutrino processes, current algebra, soft pion theorems, sum rules and perturbation-theory anomalies, which helped lay the foundations for the current Standard Model of elementary-particle physics. These papers are reprinted here with detailed historical commentaries describing how they evolved, their relation to other work in the field and their connection to recent literature. The commentaries and reprints also cover later important work by Adler on a range of topics in fundamental theory, phenomenology and numerical methods. This book is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers, and for historians of physics in the final third of the 20th century.
