Contents	Introduction / Michael Atiyah -- pt. I. Contributions -- 1. A variant of K-theory : K[plus or minus] / Michael Atiyah and Michael Hopkins -- 2. Two-vector bundles and forms of elliptic cohomology / Nils A. Baas, Bjorn Ian Dundas and John Rognes -- 3.

Summary	This volume covers the proceedings of an international conference held in Oxford in June 2002. In addition to articles arising from the conference, the book also contains the famous as yet unpublished article by Graeme Segal on the Definition of Conformal Field Theories. It is ideal as a view of the current state of the art and will appeal to established researchers as well as to novice graduate students.
