The recent international meeting at Bonn on high energy spin physics is encapsulated in this volume of its proceedings. Not only are fundamental and theoretical spin phenomena included but also technological developments in polarized beams and targets, and, for the first time, intermediate energy spin physics with electron machines. Highlights include the work on polarized high energy electron beams at LEP and TRISTAN, discussion of the failure of the standard model in connection with spin phenomena, in particular the growth of the spin asymmetry in violent proton-proton scattering, the presentation of different models to account for the still-unsolved "proton spin crisis" and proposals for four different experiments to determine the spin structure functions.
