A Review of Hadronic and Rare B Decays

We review recent experimental results onB meson decays. These include measurements of the inclusive production of charmed and non-charmed mesons and baryons, the reconstruction of a large number of exclusive hadronic final states with charmed mesons, the search for exclusive hadronic final states without charmed mesons, and the first observation of the decay B → Kγ which is described by an electromagnetic penguin diagram. The theoretical implications of these results will be considered.
