Clustering in Light Nuclei: From the Stable to the Exotic -- A Pedestrian Approach to the Theory of Transfer Reactions: Applications to Weekly-bound and Ubound Exotic Nuclei -- Effective Field Theories of Loosely Bound Nuclei -- Direct Reactions at Relativistic Energies: A New Insight Into the Single-particle Structure of Exotic Nuclei -- Nuclear Charge Radii of Light Elements and Recent Developments in Collinear Laser Spectroscopy -- The Nuclear Energy Density Functional Formalism.

This is the forth volume in a series of Lecture Notes based on the highly successful Euro Summer School on Exotic Beams. The aim of these notes is to provide a thorough introduction to radioactive ion-beam physics at the level of graduate students and young postdocs starting out in the field. Each volume covers a range of topics from nuclear theory to experiment and applications. Vol I has been published as LNP 651, Vol II has been published as LNP 700, and Vol. III has been published as LNP 764.
