It is possible for nuclei to be studied from their ground states, of about 0 h/2pi, up to angular momenta of the order 100 h/2pi, at which they are literally pulled apart by centrifugal effects. The calculated response of nuclei to such an imposed angular velocity, whose range results from a 'cranking' of the nucleus around a 'rotation' axis where the critical variable is the cranking velocity, is noted to correspond with recent observations and to include a highly variegated interplay of collective and single-particle phenomena. Attention is given to the amount of angular momentum that the nucleus can hold, geometrical shape effects, rotational alignment, and the highest obtainable spins.
