Overview

This is a monograph for students and scholars which paves the way towards a covariant theory of hadrons. Starting from Dirac's quantization procedure the author leads the student to the concept of Hamiltonian Dynamics and to light cone quantization. Designed as a textbook based on many lectures of the author, it also contains many new and interesting research results.
