Tremendous progress has been made in mapping out the spectrum of hadrons over
the past decade with plans to make further advances in the decade ahead.
Baryons and mesons, both expected and unexpected, have been found, the results
of precision experiments often with polarized beams, polarized targets and
sometimes polarization of the final states. All these hadrons generate poles in
the complex energy plane that are consequences of strong coupling QCD. They
reveal how this works.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures. The opening talk at the 13th International
Conference on Meson-Nucleon Physics and the Structure of the Nucleon
