They enlarge and complement the earlier volumes prepared for the 4", 5" and 6thS chools*. We have endeavored to maintain an informative pedagogical tone so that the book can serve as the basis for a modem course on the subject and as useful reference book. The first section introduces the fundamentals of particle physics with a review of the standard model and beyond. The comprehensive section on neutrino physics and astrophysics covers neutrino masses and oscillations, short and long baseline neutrino experiments, atmospheric and solar neutrinos, and neutrino telescopes. The section on dark matter includes a theoretical presentation and a review of existing and potential dark matter searches. Searches for axions, magnetic monopoles, and nuclearites are also discussed. Cosmic rays and astrophysics are covered with reviews on experiments in space, extreme energy cosmic rays, and photons and antimatter in space. The theory of gravitational waves and searches for gravitational waves are discussed. A section deals with the LEP legacy and future accelerators and superbeams. Large scale facilities, detectors, data acquisition and large scale computing are reviewed. The final section concerns the World of Science, with reviews on 100 years of science, Science and Society and the Universe: Today, Yesterday and Tomorrow. Abstracts of the many posters presented by participants at the school give a broad picture of world-wide activities in the field. The school was conducted under the auspices of the Abdus Salam ICTP, Trieste, and was also sponsored by the INFN. We gratefully acknowledge the kind and efficient help of Ms. G. De Meo, Ms. A. Triolo, the staff of ICTP, Ms. A. Casoni, and the technical cooperation of Drs. R. Giacomelli, Y. Becherini and M. Giorgini (Bologna).
