PREFACE A sixtiethbirthday offers an opportunityto reflectupon the achievements of a lifetime and an occasion to honor a great scientist and teacher at the peak ofhiscareer. GeoffreyChew'sfirm visionof the unity and selfconsis tency ofphysical law has inspired a generation ofstudents and colleagues. Many of them gathered in Berkeley on September 29, 1984for a one-day symposiumand banquet (entitled the "Chew Jubilee") marking hissixtieth anniversary (which actually took place June 5, 1984).The first part of this volume collects written versions of the talks delivered at the Chew Jubilee and includes essays by other friends and colleagues. The second part con tains the text ofan interview with Geoffby FritjofCapra. The title ofthis volume is taken from Murph Goldberger's after-dinner talk, also included here. Carleton DeTar J.
