Relativistic Quantum Theory Vol 4 Course of Theoretical Physics Pt 1

Published Sep 1, 1971• 1 citation

Abstract

V B Berestetskii, E M Lifshitz and L P Pitaevskii Oxford: Pergamon 1971 pp xv + 375 price £6 The nine volumes of the course of theoretical physics, associated with the names of Landau and Lifshitz, have a unique place in the literature of theoretical physics, and in their style and content have no rivals. It is a great tribute to the three authors of part I of this volume, the latest to appear in English, that they have written a book on the most difficult of all branches of theoretical physics which is worthy to rank with the others.

Quantum Mechanics (Non-Relativistic Theory)

Lewis Elton

By L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz London : Pergamon Press. Pp. xii + 515. Price 80s. This book has been awaited for some time and with considerable excitement by English speaking physicists. Their expectations had been raised by the same authors' excellent Classical Theory of Fields and by the knowledge that in Moscow there was in preparation a complete course of Theoretical Physics, monumental even by the standards of Planck and Sommerfeld.

Methods of Statistical Physics

A. J. Leggett

A I Akhiezer and S V Peletminskii 1981 Oxford: Pergamon xv + 450 pp price £22.50 This book is a fairly high-level monograph which, despite its title, is devoted mainly to the theory of the approach to equilibrium in classical and quantum mechanical systems. It rests very largely on the work of the authors and other Soviet physicists; about two thirds of the literature cited is Russian and about the same fraction is more than 15 years old.

Problems in Quantum Mechanics

R. C. Johnson

F Constantinescu and E Magyari Oxford: Pergamon 1971 pp vii + 410 price £5.70 This is a translation of a book apparently first published in eastern Europe two or three years ago and aimed at advanced undergraduates and beginning research students. It contains 319 solved problems, arranged in a dozen subject groups which include not only reasonably high level treatments of the standard topics (mathematical formalism, onedimensional models, angular momentum, atoms and molecules, various approximation methods) but also large sections on systems of identical particles and second quantization, on scattering theory and on relativistic quantum mechanics (the last two subjects together occupying over a quarter of the book).

Fundamental Principles of Modern Theoretical Physics

J M Irvine

R H Furth Oxford: Pergamon 1970 pp xv + 351 price £4 10s Prof Furth's book based upon lectures given to final year undergraduates at Birkbeck College, London, treats the subject of modern theoretical physics under three headings: quantum theory, relativity theory and statistical mechanics. There are many undergraduate texts which attempt to paint an overall view of modern physics but these are usually at a considerably more elementary level than the present volume.

Quantum Mechanics: New Approaches to Selected Topics

David L Hurd

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.

Aspects of Quantum Theory

David L Hurd

A Salam and E P Wigner (eds) Cambridge University Press 1972 pp xvi + 268 price £7·10 This splendid volume consists of articles brought together in commemorative tribute to P A M Dirac on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The very list of contributors makes imposing reading, and such distinguished authorship does much to explain the attraction of the book.
