Abstract
We discuss the development of high field ESR into a powerful and flexible tool for studies of structure and dynamics in a wide variety of systems including those of biological interest. A range of techniques are discussed with particular emphasis on the developments at Cornell University, but the contributions of other groups to the constant refinement of the state of the art are also noted.
