The Mean Field is a powerful, fruitful concept and provides an ideal first step towards the Solution of the Many Body Problem. Chapters contributed by renowned group of Indian working nuclear physicists, in each associated field embracing all facets of the theme, start from the basics and are gradually built up to the current state-of-the art level. The first part covers the applications of the Mean Field to Nuclear Structure and Reactions studies. The second part is devoted to the Experimental Measurements and Data Analysis relevant to the field of both Nuclear Structure and Reactions.
