This book is an up-to-date survey of the science and technology of creating polarized beams and polarized targets. The papers in this collection describe state-of-the-art sources of polarized electrons, ions, atoms, neutrons, and radioactive isotopes, discuss new polarized solid and gas target techniques, present recent advances in polarimetry, and review the use of polarized gas in medical imaging.
