(Paperback)

Provides an understanding of the theoretical foundations for the calculation of electromagnetic processes. This book introduces the methods of the relativistic theory through the use of notions of covariance, to provide a shorter path to the general theory. It is useful for graduates working in astrophysics and in areas of particle physics.

Published here in the original German and French, along with an English translation, the correspondence between Albert Einstein and Elie Cartan includes letters written between 1929 and 1932, after which time Einstein abandoned his unified field theory based on absolute parallelism. Originally published in 1979. The Princeton Legacy Library uses

Are the problems we define and pursue freely chosen according to our conscious interests Or does the historical process itself determine which phenomena merit examination at any one time This title discusses these issues in the far-ranging philosophical terms, while illustrating them with specific examples.

Offers a view of the physicist's world. Providing a review of the 20th century's transformation of physics, this work checks in on the findings from particle physics, astrophysics, chaos theory, and cosmology. It explains how superstring theory may unite quantum mechanics with general relativity to produce a consistent quantum theory of gravity.

Presents an understanding of semiconductor-electrolyte interfaces. This is a study of semiconductor-electrolyte interfacial effects, focusing on the physical and electrochemical foundations that affect surface charge, capacitance, conductance, quantum effects, and other properties, both from the point of view of theoretical modeling and metrology.

This is a long-needed general introduction to the physics and chemistry of the liquid-vapor phase transition of metals. Physicists and physical chemists have made great strides understanding the basic principles involved, and engineers have discovered a wide variety of new uses for fluid metals. Yet there has been no book that brings together the l

The last decade has seen striking progress in the subject of renormalization in quantum field theory. The old subject of perturbative renormalization has been revived by the use of powerful methods such as multiscale decompositions; precise estimates have been added to the initial theorems on finiteness of renormalized perturbation theory, with new
