This volume gives a broad overview of symmetry methods applied to molecular and nuclear physics, particle physics, decay processes and phase space dynamics. The thoroughly edited contributions should be of interest not only to scientists but also to those that want to see how symmetry considerations are put to work in twentieth century physics.
