This volume is mainly concerned with a systematic development of the theory of plasmas, the authority being firmly rooted in the pioneering work of Landau. Corresponding rewsults are also given for partially ionized plasmas, relativistic, degenerate or non-ideal plasmas, and solid state plasmas.[...]
A comprehensive textbook covering not only the ordinary theory of the deformation of solids, but also some topics not usually found in textbooks on the subject, such as thermal conduction and viscosity in solids.[...]
Covering the theory of electromagnetic fields in matter, and the theory of macroscopic electric and magnetic properties of matter, this revised edition contains new material, particularly on the theory of the magnetic properties of matter and the theory of optical phenomena.[...]
This second part of "Statistical Physics" deals with the quantum theory of the condensed state of matter. The book is based on the large amount of new material that has become available in statistical physics since the first part was published.[...]
This is the most comprehensive introductory graduate or advanced undergraduate text in fluid mechanics available. It builds up from the fundamentals, often in a general way, to widespread applications, to technology and geophysics. New to this second edition are discussions on the universal dimensio[...]
The fourth edition contains seven new sections with chapters on General Relativity, Gravitational Waves and Relativistic Cosmology. The text has been thoroughly revised and additional problems inserted. The Complete course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifshitz, recognized as two of the world[...]
Several significant additions have been made to the second edition, including the operator method of calculating the bremsstrahlung cross-section, the calcualtion of the probabilities of photon-induced pair production and photon decay in a magnetic field, the asymptotic form of the scattering amplit[...]
A lucid presentation of statistical physics and thermodynamics which develops from the general principles to give a large number of applications of the theory.[...]
This edition has been completely revised to include some 20 per cent of new material. Important recent developments such as the theory of Regge poles are now included in this edition. Many problems with solutions have been added to those already contained in the book.[...]
