Abstract
Over the last decade, precise LEP and SLC measurements of electroweak coupling parameters at the Z0 pole have lead to tests of the Standard Model to unprecedented precision. This report presents a comprehensive review of these studies, including a review of relevant Z0 pole physics issues, facilities, instrumentation, and the measurements made. Global fits for the Higgs Boson mass and Z0-b coupling parameters are also presented.
