Butterworth-Heinemann, 1982 Excellent This book was recommended as a supplimentary text for our mechanics course. This book is 100% better than any other mechanics book I've looked at. The explanations are very clear, especially for non-inertial & rotational reference frames and the derevations for conservation of energy, momenta, and angular momenta (integrals of motion). Includes extensive section on Euler angle derivation and ...             Quantum Electrodynamics, Second Edition: Volume 45 reviews V B Berestetskii, L. P. Pitaevskii, ... Butterworth-Heinemann, 1982 Theory and applications presented with great skill This is an outstanding book. The former students of the great Russian physicist Lev Landau wrote a text based on his teaching and his papers, as well as on their own work. The result fits well in the magnificent Theoretical Physics course that carries the names of Landau and Lifshitz. There are differences between this text and the western analogues. Dirac equation is derived in a very elegant ...             Quantum Mechanics: Non-Relativistic Theory, Volume 3, Third Edition (Quantum Mechanics) (Quantum Mechanics)14 reviews L. D. Landau, L. M. Lifshitz Butterworth-Heinemann, 1981 Good Book, Hard read This is a great book to reference if you already have some mastery of Quantum Mechanics. Does not who any math, but has many illustrating and difficult examples.             Theory of Elasticity, Third Edition: Volume 7 (Theoretical Physics, Vol 7)6 reviews L D Landau, L. P. Pitaevskii, ... Butterworth-Heinemann, 1986 Fortunately... not Timoshenko Timoshenko's book is a collection of exercises. Landau's book is a collection of ideas.             Electrodynamics of Continuous Media, Second Edition: Volume 8 (Course of Theoretical Physics)5 reviews L D Landau, L. P. Pitaevskii, ... Butterworth-Heinemann, 1984 ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS ON MACROSCOPIC ELECTRODYNAMICS! This is the Volume 8 of the famous Course of Theoretical Physics by L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz. All serious students of theoretical physics must possess the ten volumes of this excellent Course, which cover in detail and rigour practically all the branches of theoretical physics. The Volume 8 treats the subject of the electromagnetic fields in matter, or the macroscopic electrodynamics. The ...             Statistical Physics, Part 2: Volume 9 (Pt 2) (Pt 2)7 reviews L. P. Pitaevskii, E.M. Lifshitz Butterworth-Heinemann, 1980 Unrivalled Masterpiece This book is a classic, especially in the sense it is somewhat old fashioned in its basic approaches when compared with newer books. For example it examines statistics and entropy from the ergodic as opposed to the ensemble approach. Information Theory and role of symmetry and symmetry breaking is not treated in detail. However I can't hold these omissions against the book since these ...             Fluid Mechanics, Second Edition: Volume 6 (Course of Theoretical Physics)8 reviews L D Landau, E.M. Lifshitz Butterworth-Heinemann, 1987 An Important Book in Physics Landau & Lifshz "Course of Theoretical Physics" is a famous and respected set of books in Physics. Unfortunately, Butterworth-Heinemann, who currently prints those books in English, prints them with very poor quality. The books seem to be "printed" in old copy machines and the paper used is also a cheap one. In many pages, it is really hard to read the text, due to such poor printing.             The Classical Theory of Fields, Fourth Edition: Volume 2 (Course of Theoretical Physics Series)24 reviews L D Landau, E.M. Lifshitz Butterworth-Heinemann, 1980 The work of a master Landau's approach to Classical Field Theory demonstrates his ability to be clear, concise, and elegant without drowning out the physics with math. I will say, however, that Landau requires a certain maturity to appreciate his style (same goes for Rudin's books of analysis). I would recommend this title to those with a working knowledge of classical E & M, vector/tensor analysis, and of special ...             Quantum Mechanics: Non-Relativistic Theory, Volume 3, Third Edition (Course of Theoretical Physics, Vol 3)1 review L. D. Landau, E. M. Lifshitz, ... Butterworth-Heinemann, 1981 Masterly treatment of the subject This is a very good book on non-relativistic quantum mechanics by an acknowledged master of theoretical physics. Almost every sentence is meaningful and well thought out. However this book is not meant for a novice who wishes to study the subject for the first time. Landau's unique perspectives on this subject (as well as others in his famous Course of Theoretical Physics) is best appreciated by ...             Physical Kinetics (Pergamon International Library of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Social Studies) ...3 reviews E.M. Lifshitz, L.P. Pitaevskii Butterworth-Heinemann, 1981 A UNIQUE BOOK ABOUT SYSTEMS NOT IN EQUILIBRIUM This book is the volume 10 and the last volume of the great Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifshitz. It explains in great detail and rigour the theory of the processes ocurring in several systems not in statistical equilibrium. The book opens with a complete account of the transport processes in gases not in equilibrium, certainly the most representative physical system not in ...              search for books classical, continuous, course, edition, elasticity, electrodynamics, engineering, fields, fourth, international, kinetics, library, mechanics, media, non-relativistic, pergamon, physical, physics, quantum, relativistic, science, second, series, social, statistical, studies, technology, theoretical, theory, volume books:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
