There has been renewed interest in recent years in the energy region around 1015 eV, the region containing a major feature in the cosmic ray spectrum called the "Knee". Discovered over forty years ago through air shower measurements, the origin of the knee and its underlying physics/astrophysics remain largely unknown. Direct particle identification experiments are being extended to ever higher energies, while the air shower data and interpretation are improving. This brief review summarizes the current results and looks at various theories and models which have been suggested recently to help unravel the astrophysics of the energy region around the knee.
