The papers provide a glimpse at the historical development of a subject which expanded into many areas of mathematics during these 40 years. In addition, this volume provides easy access to a useful set of references. Chronicling some of the most important developments in papers by some of the field's major figures, this book will appeal to specialists in representation theory as well as to researchers in those areas of mathematics in which representation theory plays an important role.
