Oh! The Places Ive Been is another of the many travel books I have written in the last fi fteen years. It does not nearly cover the many countries I have visited but I thought the title would be a cute one nevertheless. In the last four decades I have visited over sixty countries in six continents, but this book will take you some interesting places which I missed writing about along the way. I especially loved the little country of Wales which most travelers seem to miss along their way. In thinking back about those fun places, I especially liked California and the Hearst Castle and I would invite anyone who can take the time to visit there. Yes, it is true that it is not in the main stream of places to see, but if you have traveled to the many popular places of the world, take a few extra days and try to see the Hearst magical home

Here along the western shores of the beautiful country of Ireland, sits the author, Gene Weisberger, as he studies the hills and valleys of the Donegal provence. From the very first trip Gene took to the land of Forty Shades of Green, he has enjoyed visiting this country and all its great background. He especially feels comfortable getting around the Irish cities in his wheel chair because, he finds the people so helpful. From the earliest tombs found at the New Grange and the Carrowmor cemetery sites to the present day with its highlights and bridges across the River Liffey in the capitol city of Dublin, Gene has found Ireland such a fascinating and exciting country to study. He and Lila are planning to go back if at all possible, some time in the future.
In recent years, the study of weak interaction and its relationship with the other fundamnetal interactions of nature has progressed rapidly. Weak interactions of leptons and quarks provides an up-to-date account of this continuing research. The Introduction discusses early models and historical developments in the understanding of the weak force. The authors then give a clear presentation of the modern theoretical basis of weak interactions, going on to discuss recent advances in the field. These include development of the eletroweak gauge theory, and the discovery of neutral currents and of a host of new particles. There is also a chapter devoted entirely to neutrino astrophysics. Its straightforward style and its emphasis on experimental results will make this book an excellent source for students (problem sets are included at the end of each chapter) and experimentalists in the field. Physicists whose speciality lies outside the study of elementary particle physics will also find it useful.
