Modern Physics

Abstract

By H. A. Wilson Glasgow: Blackie & Son Ltd. Pp. xv + 473. Price 40s. This book has been little improved since the second edition. The distribution of emphasis still largely reflects the distribution of Professor Wilson's interests in 1928.

Principles of Modern Physics

Guilherme Wyllie

By A. P. French New York : John Wiley and Sons, Inc. ; London : Chapman and Hall, Ltd. Pp. ix + 355. Price 54s. This is a very useful book indeed. If one compares it with two widely used texts, Slater's Modern Physics and Born's Atomic Physics, this book is more advanced and comprehensive than Slater's, less so than Born's.

The Basis of Modern Physics

David Bailin

J. M. Irvine Edinburgh: Oliver and Boyd. 1967 Pp. vii + 124. Price 7s. 6d. This is a compact book which attempts to isolate and explain the main ideas of modern physics. These are identified as relativity and quantum mechanics, so that the reader may well be left with the impression that there have been no basic ideas since about 1930.

Modern Physics and Quantum Mechanics

D H Tomlin

E Anderson London: W B Sounders 1971 pp xi + 430 price £6·20 The book is intended for use at senior undergraduate level in an American university, though the first few chapters deal with material likely to have been included in a more elementary course on modern physics. The author's declared aim is to bridge a gap between the more elementary, descriptive type of course and advanced applications of quantum mechanics at postgraduate level.

Robert L Sproull and W Andrew Phillips 1980 Chichester: John Wiley xi + 682 pp price £16 The new edition of this nicely produced work has been significantly extended and updated. It is clearly aimed at physics and engineering students who are near the beginning of their courses and requires very little prior mathematical or physics knowledge beyond that contained in the first term of a typical physics degree.
