  Several topics in hadron physics at different scales of resolution are
discussed. First, deep-inelastic scattering from nucleons and nuclei is viewed
in a light-cone coordinate space picture. Then the smooth transition from
parton to hadron degrees of freedom is demonstrated by using a generalized
Q^2-dependent polarizabilities of the nucleon. Turning to low energy QCD we
summarize recent developments related to the role of strange quarks in Chiral
SU(3) Dynamics, a non-perturbative coupled channel approach to hadronic
processes. Finally we elaborate on a unification of QCD Sum Rules with aspects
of spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in the analysis of quark-antiquark
excitations of the condensed QCD vacuum and in nuclear matter.
