Description
Trade Review"This pair of volumes, like the Feynman Lectures, is a work that belongs in the hands of every physicist . . . These books may inspire leaders in other subdisciplines to write similar works and thereby bring the frontiers of physics closer to the center. Gottfried and Weisskopf have set a fine standard for such an endeavor." --Physics Today From reviews of Volume I "Physicists of all stripes have reason to look forward to Volume II with considerable enthusiasm." --Physics Today "The second volume covers much of the same material as the first, but in more detail and with more mathematical sophistication...would make an excellent text for an advanced undergraduate course in modern physics or elementary particle physics...would provide a nice primer for graduate students just starting to learn the subject." --The Scientist "This pair of volumes, like the Feynman Lectures, is a work that belongs in the hands of every physicist . . .
