Most popular at the top

  • Physics Meets Philosophy at the Planck Scaleby Craig Callender; Nick Huggett

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 68.00

    Collects classic and original contributions from leading experts to discuss one of the greatest challenges in fundamental physics: how quantum mechanics and general relativity can be reconciled in a theory of 'quantum gravity'. A key topic of debate and collaboration between physicists and philosophers. more...

  • Consistent Quantum Theoryby Robert B. Griffiths

    Cambridge University Press 2001; US$ 68.00

    Illustrating basic quantum principles using simple examples, Griffiths clarifies topics that students and their teachers often find confusing. A supplement to traditional texts, this book is accessible to graduate and advanced undergraduate students. It will also be of interest to physicists and philosophers working on the foundations of quantum mechanics. more...

  • Classical Covariant Fieldsby Mark Burgess; P. V. Landshoff; D. R. Nelson; D. W. Sciama; S. Weinberg

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 87.00

    This book discusses the classical foundations of field theory, using the language of variational methods and covariance, and relating the subject to quantum field theory. Ideal as a supplementary text for graduate courses on elementary field theory, group theory and dynamical systems. Also a valuable reference for researchers. more...

  • Statistical Mechanics Made Simpleby D C Mattis

    World Scientific Publishing Company 2002; US$ 62.40

    This book is an elaboration of the author?s lecture notes in a graduate course in statistical physics and thermodynamics, augmented by some material suitable for self-teaching as well as for undergraduate study. The first 4 or 5 chapters are suitable for an undergraduate course for engineers and physicists in Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics... more...

  • Quantum Field Theory in Condensed Matter Physicsby Alexei M. Tsvelik

    Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 48.00

    This book is a course in modern quantum field theory for condensed matter physics. The book is intended for graduate students, postdoctoral associates and independent researchers working condensed matter physics. more...

  • Understanding Relativityby Leo Sartori

    University of California Press 1996; US$ 34.95

    Nonspecialists with no prior knowledge of physics and only reasonable proficiency with algebra can now understand Einstein's special theory of relativity. Effectively diagrammed and with an emphasis on logical structure, Leo Sartori's rigorous but simple presentation will guide interested readers through concepts of relative time and relative space. Sartori... more...

  • Beautiful Modelsby Bill Sutherland

    World Scientific Publishing Company 2004; US$ 101.40

    This invaluable book provides a broad introduction to the fascinating and beautiful subject of many-body quantum systems that can be solved exactly. The subject began with Bethe's famous solution of the one-dimensional Heisenberg magnet more than 70 years ago, soon after the invention of quantum mechanics. more...

  • Quantum State Diffusionby Ian Percival

    Cambridge University Press 1998; US$ 38.00

    This is the first book devoted to quantum state diffusion (QSD) and its applications to open quantum systems and to the foundations of quantum mechanics. It will interest graduate students and researchers in quantum mechanics and its applications, including quantum optics, quantum statistics, the philosophy of quantum theory and theoretical molecular... more...

  • Green's Functions and Ordered Exponentialsby H. M. Fried

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 39.00

    This book provides a coherent account of the construction, use and approximation of Green's functions and their associated ordered exponentials. Topics covered include applications to problems in potential theory and quantum field theory, as well as particle production in crossed laser fields and non-constant electric fields. For graduates and researchers. more...

  • The Scalar-Tensor Theory of Gravitationby Yasunori Fujii; Kei-ichi Maeda; P. V. Landshoff; D. R. Nelson; D. W. Sciama; S. Weinberg

    Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 53.00

    A pedagogical overview of the theoretical ideas behind the cosmological constant problem, in particular the scalar-tensor theory, which is one of the most popular alternative theories of gravitation. Covering recent developments in the field, including branes and quintessence, it will be an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers... more...
