Excerpt from S-Matrix Theory of Strong Interactions: A Lecture Note and Reprint Volume Fourth, there are the contemporary classics - papers or lectures which constitute a particularly valuable approach to the teaching and learning of physics today. Here one thinks of fields that lie at the heart of much of present - day research, but whose essentials are by now well understood, such as quantum electrodynamics or magnetic resonance. In such fields some of the best pedagogical material is not readily available, either because it consists of pa pers long out of print or lectures that have never been published.

This edited volume examines the impact of globalisation on the economies, security policies and military-industrial complexes of the Asia-Pacific region. The work is structured into three main parts. The first explores globalization and its general effects on the policy-making of the nation-state; the second section looks at how globalisation affects a country’s threat perception and defence posture within the specific context of the Asia-Pacific region; while the third explores how it impacts on a state’s allocation of resources to defence, and how economic globalization affects the defence industry, with specific reference to the procurement policies and practices of different states across the Asia-Pacific.

Geoffrey Chew was born on June 5, 1924 in Washington, District of Columbia, United States. He is the son of Arthur Percy, a journalist, and Pauline Lisette (Foucar) Chew, a teacher.
Chew finished George Washington University with Bachelor of Science degree in 1944. He attended University of Chicago and get Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1948.
Chew began his career in 1944 when he became a junior theoretical physicist at Los Alamos Science Laboratory. He held this post for two years.
From 1946 to 1948, Chew was a National Research Fellow at the University of Chicago, where he worked on his doctoral thesis under the supervision of American physicist Enrico Fermi. In 1948 he worked as a research physicist at the Theoretical Physics Research Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, becoming an assistant professor of physics in 1949.
Chew left Berkeley to take up a position as professor of physics at the University of Illinois in 1950, but returned to Berkeley as professor of physics 7 years later. He was also a senior research physicist at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory and occasionally heads the Laboratory’s Theoretical Group.
During 1970 – 1971 he was a visiting professor in Princeton University. From 1974 to 1978 he worked as a chair of Physics Department at Research Laboratory at the University of California.
From 1981 to 1982, Chew was Miller Professor of Physics at Berkeley. He was a visiting professor of physics at the University of Paris between 1983 and 1984. In 1986, he became Dean of Physical Sciences at Berkeley, and is now a professor emeritus of physics.

Chew is a member of the National Academy of Science and a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
In 1945 Chew married Ruth Elva Wright, with whom he had two children: Beverly and Berkeley. After the death of his wife in 1971, Chew remarried later that year. He and his second wife, Denyse Mettel, have three children: Pierre-Yves, Jean-Francois and Pauline.
