This book is invaluable for particle and nuclear physicists and comprises extensive lecture notes on non-perturbative quantum chromodynamics. The original edition from 1988 had a review style. In this edition the outline remains, but the text has been rewritten and extended. As well as incorporating new developments, this edition has benefited from several graduate courses taught by the author at Stony Brook during the past decade. The text now includes exercises and about 1000 references to major works, arranged by subject.
