Abstract: The phenomena of confinement and dynamical chiral symmetry breaking are basic to understanding hadron observables. They can be explored using Dyson‐Schwinger equations. The existence of a systematic, nonperturbative and symmetry preserving truncation of these equations enables the proof of exact results in QCD, and their illustration using simple but accurate models. We provide a sketch of the material qualitative and quantitative success that has been achieved in the study of pseudoscalar and vector mesons. Efforts are now turning to the study of baryons, which we exemplify via a calculation of nucleon weak and pionic form factors.
