The Infinity Puzzleby Frank Close
OUP Oxford 2011; US$ 21.95We are living in a Golden Age of Physics. Forty or so years ago, three brilliant, yet little-known scientists - an American, a Dutchman, and an Englishman - made breakthroughs which later inspired the construction of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva: a 27 kilometer-long machine which has already costs ten billion dollars, taken twenty years to build, and now promises to reveal how the universe itself came to be. The Infinity Puzzle is the inside story of those forty years of research, breakthrough, and endeavour. Peter Higgs, Gerard 't Hooft and James Bjorken, were the three scientists whose work is explored here, played out across the decades against a backdrop of high politics, low behaviour, and billion dollar budgets. Written... more...
Quantum Field Theory in Condensed Matter Physicsby Alexei M. Tsvelik

A Story Of Lightby M. Y. Han
World Scientific 2004; US$ 49.40This book presents the essential aspects of relativistic quantum field theory, with minimal use of mathematics. It covers the development of quantum field theory from the original quantization of electromagnetic field to the gauge field theory of interactions among quarks and leptons. more...
Introduction to Quantum Field Theoryby V.lG. Kiselev
CRC Press 2000; US$ 119.95This text aims to provide an introduction to the subject of quantum field theory without the complication of featuring its application areas such as elementary particle physics or statistical physics at the same time. more...
Quantum-Statistical Models of Hot Dense Matterby Arnold F. Nikiforov
Springer 2004; US$ 189.00The widely-used theoretical models for calculating properties of hot dense matter are studied in this book. Calculations are illustrated by plots, tables, and are also compared with experimental results. more...
How Is Quantum Field Theory Possible?by Sunny Y Auyang
Oxford University Press 1995; US$ 170.00How can we know the microscopic world without a measurement theory? What are the general conditions of the world that make possible such knowledge? What are the presuppositions of physical theories? This book includes an analysis of quantum field theory, and quantum mechanics and interacting systems are addressed in a unified framework. more...
Discrete Gauge Theoryby Robert Oeckl
World Scientific 2005; US$ 81.00This book provides an introduction to topological quantum field theory as well as discrete gauge theory with quantum groups. In contrast to much of the existing literature, the present approach is at the same time intuitive and mathematically rigorous, making extensive use of suitable diagrammatic methods. It provides a highly unified description of lattice gauge theory, topological quantum field theory and models of quantum (super)gravity. The reader is thus in a unique position to understand the relations between these subjects as well as the underlying groundwork. more...
Proceedings Of The Dirac Centennial Symposiumby Howard Baer; Alexander Belyaev
World Scientific 2003; US$ 100.00Paul Adrian Maurice Dirac (1902?84) is one of the icons of modern physics. His work provided the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. He also made key contributions to quantum field theory and quantum statistical mechanics. He is perhaps best known for formulating the Dirac equation, a relativistic wave equation which described the properties of the electron, and also predicted the existence of anti-matter. He was awarded the Nobel prize in Physics in 1933 along with Erwin Schreodinger for his contributions to quantum theory. The Dirac Centennial Symposium held commemorated the contributions of Dirac to all areas of physics, and assessed their impact on frontier research. This invaluable book constitutes the proceedings of the symposium,... more...
