The Nobel Laureate's brilliant exposition of the kinetic theory of gases, elementary particles, the nuclear atom, wave-corpuscles, atomic structure and spectral lines, electron spin and Pauli's principle, quantum statistics, molecular structure and nuclear physics. Over 40 appendices, a bibliography, numerous figures and graphs.
A Guide to Feynman Diagrams in the Many-Body Problem by Richard D. Mattuck Superb introduction for nonspecialists covers Feynman diagrams, quasi particles, Fermi systems at finite temperature, superconductivity, vacuum amplitude, Dyson's equation, ladder approximation, more. "A great delight." — Physics Today. 1974 edition.
Eight Lectures on Theoretical Physics by Max Planck Landmark lectures (1909) by Nobel Prize winner deal with application of quantum hypothesis to blackbody radiation, principle of least action, relativity theory, more. 1915 edition.
Physics of Fully Ionized Gases: Second Revised Edition by Lyman Spitzer, Jr. An introductory course in theoretical physics is the sole prerequisite for this general but simple introduction to the fields of plasma and fusion research. 1962 edition.
Elementary Nuclear Theory: Second Edition by Hans A. Bethe, Philip Morrison Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this compact treatment of basic theory of nuclear forces, structures, and reactions is based on familiar results of nonrelativistic quantum theory. 1956 edition.
Beta Decay for Pedestrians by Harry J. Lipkin Graduate-level text presents aspects of beta decay that can be understood without formal theory, making a clear distinction between results dependent and independent of assumptions underlying the theory. 1962 edition.
Nuclear Shell Theory by Amos de-Shalit, Igal Talmi Comprehensive graduate-level text explores modern methods related to the nuclear shell, particularly techniques of spectroscopy. Features simplified mathematics and an emphasis on the physical content of the formalism. 1963 edition.
Problems of Atomic Dynamics by Max Born The Nobel Laureate discusses the foundations of quantum theory in two lectures, one on the structure of the atom, the other on the lattice theory of rigid bodies.
