Cambridge University Press Three Hundred Years of Gravitation
Book SynopsisTo commemorate the 300th anniversary of the publication of Isaac Newton's Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Stephen Hawking and Werner Israel have assembled a series of unique review papers by many of the world's foremost researchers in cosmology, relativity and particle physics. The resulting volume reflects the significant and exciting advances that have been made in these fields since the editor's acclaimed volume published in 1979: General Relativity: An Einstein Centenary Survey. Newton's immense contribution to the physical sciences is assessed, and its relevance to today's physics made clear. The international contributors then chart the major developments in the study of gravitation, from Newtonian gravity to black hole physics. In the fields of galaxy formation, inflationary and quantum cosmology, and superstring unification, the book provides important overviews written by workers involved in many of the advances described. By shaping such a wide-ranging and scholTrade Review"...the papers in this collection show us that it [the study of gravitation] is exciting, provocative and stimulating..."

Cambridge University Press Classical Dynamics A Contemporary Approach
Book SynopsisAdvances in the study of dynamical systems have revolutionized the way that classical mechanics is taught and understood. Classical Dynamics, first published in 1998, is a comprehensive textbook that provides a complete description of this fundamental branch of physics. The authors cover all the material that one would expect to find in a standard graduate course: Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics, canonical transformations, the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, perturbation methods, and rigid bodies. They also deal with more advanced topics such as the relativistic Kepler problem, Liouville and Darboux theorems, and inverse and chaotic scattering. A key feature of the book is the early introduction of geometric (differential manifold) ideas, as well as detailed treatment of topics in nonlinear dynamics (such as the KAM theorem) and continuum dynamics (including solitons). The book contains many worked examples and over 200 homework exercises. It will be an ideal textbook for graduate studenTrade Review'It strikes the right balance between physical reasoning and mathematical sophistication, at the same time as it takes the reader to the forefront of active research in the field … I recommend this book to instructors and students alike.' Meinhard E. Mayer, Physics Today'Classical Dynamics strikes the right balance between physical reasoning and mathematical sophistication, at the same time as it takes the reader to the forefront of active research in the field … I highly recommended this book to instructors and students alike.' Meinhard E. Mayer, Physics Today'… it is well written, with a thorough set of references, and would serve as an excellent resource for students and faculty alike who wish to learn many of the most important aspects of the mathematical physics behind the renaissance of classical mechanics.'

Cambridge University Press Reciprocity in Elastodynamics
Book SynopsisProfessor Achenbach discusses uses of reciprocity relations for the determination of elastodynamic fields, and presents a novel method to solve for wave fields by reciprocity of the actual field with a so-called virtual solution, shedding new light on the use of reciprocity relations for dynamic fields in elastic bodies.Trade Review'… this book provides a good basis for research workers in such fields who want to develop their knowledge in reciprocity formulations in elastodynamics.' ZAMM'This book is a delight to read. No matter how complicated a particular reasoning or derivation may be, every step is explained with insight and clarity that make the material easily accessible and enjoyable for beginners and experts alike. High-quality copyediting, printing, and page layout by Cambridge University Press complement this impression. If there has ever been a page-turner written on elastodynamics, this is the one.'
