Description
The method of the QCD sum rules was and still is one of the most productive tools in a wide range of problems associated with the hadronic
phenomenology. Many heuristic ideas, computational devices, specific formulae which are useful to theorists working not only in hadronic
physics, have been accumulated in this method. Some of the results and approaches which have originally been developed in connection
with the QCD sum rules can be and are successfully applied in related fields, such as supersymmetric gauge theories, nontraditional schemes
of quarks and leptons etc. The amount of literature on these and other more basic problems in hadronic physics has grown enormously
in recent years. This volume presents a collection of papers which provide an overview of all basic elements of the sum rule approach
and priority has been given to those works which seemed most useful from a pedagogical point of view.
