Named a Top Five Book of 2011 by Physics Today, USA.

What people are saying about our books: Feynman’s Thesis — A New Approach to Quantum Theory edited by Laurie M Brown (Northwestern University, USA) “Historians and physicists alike will enjoy this easy-to-read little book … The thesis itself is a masterpiece of clear exposition … it is written in Feynman’s uniquely chatty style, and reminiscent of the famous Feynman lectures. It is a delight to read and is likely to offer an insight, even to nonphysicists, into both physics and the workings of Feynman’s mind. I would not hesitate to recommend the book to anyone — working physicists, historians, philosophers and even ‘curious fellows’ who would like to ‘peak over the shoulder’ of one of the 20th century’s great physicists at work.” CERN Courier

BCS: 50 Years

edited by Leon N Cooper & Dmitri Feldman (Brown University, USA) “… the editors deserve praise for the selection of topics and for enlisting a distinguished set of authors. BCS: 50 Years is a successful attempt to capture the history of the development of superconductivity theory and its continuing impact. Any person curious about superconductivity will find something in this book to enjoy.” Physics Today

Advances in Atomic Physics

An Overview by Claude Cohen-Tannoudji (Collège de France, France & Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, France) & David Guéry-Odelin (Laboratoire Collisions Agrégats Réactivité, France) “French Nobel Laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji is second to none in his understanding of the modern theory and application of atomphoton interactions. He is also known for his lucid and accessible writing style … Advances in Atomic Physics is an impressive and wonderful-to-read reference text … Certainly researchers in the fields of atom-photon interactions and atom traps will want it as a reference on their bookshelves … A selection of chapters may be of benefit to students: the early chapters for those entering the field, the later chapters for those already doing atom-laser PhD thesis work.” Physics Today

Advanced Quantum Mechanics 2nd Edition by Freeman Dyson (IAS, Princeton) translated and transcribed by David Derbes (Laboratory Schools, University of Chicago, USA) “The fame of these lectures as well as of this author, together with the enduring interest in their contents attested by this transcription, obviously classify the book as of great interest to students and researchers willing to hear a presentation of quantum electrodynamics from one of the founding fathers.” Zentralblatt MATH World Scientific Lecture Notes in Physics - Volume 53

Introduction to Nonlinear Dynamics for Physicists by H D I Abarbanel, M I Rabinovich & M M Sushchik (UC San Diego) “These lecture notes briefly introduce the reader to new ideas, so would be a useful addition to a library or a source of ideas for lectures or projects; a good student may also find this text useful as a quick introduction to many new ideas.”

Notes from a Thoughtful Curmudgeon by Philip W Anderson (Princeton) “Anderson has put together an entertaining and instructive collection of highly readable reviews, columns, talks, and unpublished essays on science and the scientists he has known. He is rarely inappropriately provocative, and he is a pleasure to read.” Physics Today
