The readers are first guided to examine the basic informations from nucleon-nucleon collisions and the use of the nucleus as an arena to study the interaction of one nucleon with another. A survey of the relation between nucleon-nucleon and nucleus-nucleus collisions provides the proper comparison to study phenomena involving the more exotic quark-gluon plasma. Properties of the quark-gluon plasma and signatures for its detection are discussed to aid future searches and exploration for this exotic matter. Recent experimental findings are summarized.
