With equal emphasis on intuition and formalism, this text provides a unified, comprehensive, and coherent introduction to continuum physics that requires only some Newtonian mechanics and modest mathematical prerequisites that are further developed in the text. Based on the author's years of teaching the subject, the book is highly structured and useful on several tracks: as the main text for a course on continuum physics or as the foundation for courses on more specialized areas, such as solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, geophysics, and astrophysics. It contains all the usual features of a textbook: plenty of illustrations, problem sets with solutions, and an introduction to numerical simulations. OTIs OTI 1 IP177

An essential book for all students and scientists in the field, Part A of Geophysical Field Theory and Method describes the physical and mathematical principles of geophysical methods, specifically the behavior of gravitational, electrical, and magnetic fields. The broader use of these methods underlines the far-reaching appeal of this book. Oil and mineral prospecting, solving groundwater and engineering problems, and well-logging are just some of the activities which involve geophysical methods. Parts B and C will be devoted to the theory of fields and applied to electromagnetic, seismic, nu

Following on form the successful first (1984) and revised (1993) editions, this extended and revised text is designed as a short and simple introduction to quantum field theory for final year physics students and for postgraduate students beginning research in theoretical and experimental particle physics. Thus, the first ten chapters deal with QED in the canonical formalism, and are little changed from the first edition. A brief introduction to gauge theories (Chapter 11) is then followed by two sections, which may be read independently of each other. They cover QCD and related topics (Chapters 12-15) and the unified electroweak theory (Chapters 16-19) respectively. Problems are provided at the end of each chapter. --Book Jacket.
