W E Turner et al. New York: Benjamin 1969 pp vii + 265, price £2 The Institute of Physics and The Physical Society has decided to have republished selected articles, with a common theme, from Reports on Progress in Physics . The present volume on many-body problems is such a venture and contains reviews entitled 'Green functions in statistical mechanics' (Parry and Turner 1964), 'Theory and applications of the density matrix' (ter Haar 1961), 'The equation of state of dense systems' (Rowlinson 1965), 'The theory of irreversible processes' (Chester 1963), 'Quantum theory of many-body systems' (Hugenholtz 1965) and 'The fluctuation-dissipation theorem' (Kubo 1966).
Introductory many-body theory, D.J. Thouless collective description of many-body systems, R.M. Dreizler fermi liquid theory, D. Pines theory of fractional quantum hall effect, A.H. MacDonald numerical methods for problems of interacting many electron systems, D.J. Scalapino supersymmetry in nuclear and condensed matter physics, A.B. Balantekin strongly coupled plasmas, K.I. Golden fractional quantum hall effect and electron solid, R.G. Clark models to treat strong electronic correlations, M.P. Das physics of anyons, R.B. Laughlin. (Part contents).
H J Lipkin Amsterdam: North-Holland 1973 pp xv + 465 price Dfl 95 The author himself explains that this volume can be considered as a collection of self contained monographs, dealing with such topics as the Mossbauer effect (introducing ‘form factor physics‘), many body theory (second quantization techniques), kaon physics (applications of time-dependent perturbation theory), scattering theory, Feynman diagrams, and relativistic quantum mechanics. Concepts and techniques are presented with clarity, and their use well illustrated through application to problems of real physical interest.
