Starts with Dirac's analysis showing that gauge theories are constrained Hamiltonian systems. This book is a systematic study of the classical and quantum theories of gauge systems. It discusses reducible gauge systems, and explains the relationship between BRST cohomology and gauge invariance.

Quantum Evolution presents a revolutionary new scientific theory by asking: is there a force of will behind evolution Johnjoe McFadden shows that there is.

(Paperback)

Stochastic mechanics is a description of quantum phenomena in classical probabilistic terms. This work contains an account of the kinematics of diffusion processes, including diffusions on curved manifolds that are necessary for the treatment of spin in stochastic mechanics.

A one-volume history of twentieth-century physics, the book takes us from the discovery of X rays in the mid-1890s to super-string theory in the 1990s.

(Hardback)

Teaches the often counterintuitive physics of quantum mechanics by working through detailed applications of general ideas. This book uses the hyperfine structure of atomic hydrogen (the 21 cm line): the computation of the energy splitting and the induced and spontaneous transition rates. It emphasizes the art of numerical estimates.

The quantum theory of macroscopic systems is an area of science that serves to relate the properties of physical objects to those of their constituent particles. This book provides an approach, based on a 'macrostatistical mechanics', which contrasts with the standard microscopic treatments of many-body problems.

(Paperback)

This monograph combines a thorough introduction to the mathematical foundations of n-body Schrodinger mechanics with numerous new results. Originally published in 1971. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton Universi

(Paperback)

Reviews the history and recent development of mathematics, logic, and the physical sciences to show that current work in quantum theory offers new answers to questions that have puzzled philosophers for centuries: Is the world ultimately intelligible Are all events caused Do objects have definitive locations

(Paperback)

A physicist's efforts to understand the enigma that is quantum mechanics.

(Paperback)

The forty-nine papers collected here illuminate the meaning of quantum theory as it is disclosed in the measurement process. Together with an introduction and a supplemental annotated bibliography, they discuss issues that make quantum theory, overarching principle of twentieth-century physics, appear to many to prefigure a new revolution in scienc

The author demonstrates how the dark matter problem is now connected with two of the hottest areas in recent cosmology: the fate of the universe and the cosmological constant. This classic text (previously "The Fifth Essence") has been updated to include significant new theories of the 1990s.

Are you neurotic, eager to please, and honest Or cheerful, gregarious, and disorganised Whatever you're like, with the tweak of a couple of genes, scientists can make a mouse just like you. Hannah Holmes shows us by humorously examining her own personality and those of her friends and family members that, almost everything comes from our genes.

Argues that the long abeyance of the Diversity Project points to larger, fundamental questions about how to understand knowledge, democracy, and racism in an age when expert claims about genomes increasingly shape the possibilities for being human.

(Hardback)

This study is based on the following premises: human beings differ in their physiological reactions to their different environments and consequently differ in appearance; individuals who resemble each other in observable characteristics tend to be grouped together geographically; therefore, races exist in man as in any other species.

In Rachel Carson: A Biography, Carson emerges as a talented scientist and exceptional writer who was able to share her sense of wonder about nature with both scientists and the general public.

Carson's great love of both writing and nature emerged at a young age and enabled her to overcome numerous obstacles in her life.

(Paperback)

Using only the very elementary framework of finite probability spaces, this book treats a number of topics in the modern theory of stochastic processes. This is made possible by using a small amount of Abraham Robinson's nonstandard analysis and not attempting to convert the results into conventional form.

(Paperback)

Offers an examination of the relationship between Radon transforms on symmetric spaces of compact type and the infinitesimal versions of two fundamental rigidity problems in Riemannian geometry. This book focuses on the spectral rigidity problem.
