Other McGraw-Hill Books INTRODUCTION TO THE QUANTUM THEORY By Dávid Park, Williams College. 575 pages, $10.75 Written with the undergraduate specifically in mind, this fine text assumes a previous course in the fundamentals of atomic physics. The organization is unique in setting forth the practical applications of the theory (given in the first part) in such detail with typical calculations and experimentál data. ELEMENTARY QUANTUM FIELD THEORY By Ernest Henley, University of Washington; and Walter Thirring, University of Vienna. International Series in Pure and Applied Physics. 288 pages, $9.50. Presents that part of quantum field theory unobscured by mathematical difficulties, and not requiring a deeper understanding of special relativity. Applications to elementary particles are developed. In the last third of the book the mathematical tools and physical insight developed in the first two thirds are used to discuss low energy pion physics in detail. THE ATOMIC NUCLEUS By Robley...

Evans, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. International Series in Pure and Applied Physics. 950 pages, $16.50. This graduate text and reference in fundamental nuclear physics is characterized by unusually broad coverage, involving most of the present field of nuclear physics, both "intra-nuclear" and "extra-nuclear." In the discussion of each sub-topic, the book deals both with the experimentál facts and with their interpretation on contemporary theories. The discussion of each topic is begun at the introductory level, then carried through intermediate levels of difficulty to advanced areas of current research. CONCEPTS OF MODERN PHYSICS By Arthur Beiser, formerly of New York University. 384 pages, $7.95. This work is distinguished by its well-integrated, extremely clear, and logically developed progression from relativity and quantum theory through the atom, molecule, and nucleus. The book is designed for sophomore or junior year students majoring in engineering or one of the physical sciences, who have completed courses in physics, chemistry, and calculus. Features: extended derivations of the most significant relationships, all carefully worked out, with virtually every step included; numerous examples and problems, as well as növel, specially presented descriptions of significant experiments contributing to basic understanding of modern physics.
