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.
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's outstanding physicists, is published in full by Butterworth-Heinemann. It comprises nine volumes, covering all branches of the subject; translations from the Russian are by leading scientists.
Covers the theory of electromagnetic fields in matter, and the
theory of macroscopic electric and magnetic properties of matter.
There is a considerable amount of new material particularly on the
theory of the magnetic properties of matter and the theory
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.
This edition has been completely revised to include some 20% of new material. Important recent developments such as the theory of Regge poles are now included. Many problems with solutions have been added to those already contained in the book.
A lucid presentation of statistical physics and thermodynamics
which develops from the general principles to give a large number
of applications of the theory.
Devoted to the foundation of mechanics, namely classical Newtonian
mechanics, the subject is based mainly on Galileo's principle of
relativity and Hamilton's principle of least action. The exposition
is simple and leads to the most complete direct means of solving
problems in mechanics.
A pair of eminent Russian theoretical physicists offer a captivating view of the paradoxes inherent to the special theory of relativity. Written in a simple, straightforward fashion, the text uses familiar objects (trains, rulers, and clocks, for example) to illuminate the more subtle and elusive aspects of relativity. Contents: 1. Familiar Examples of Relativity. 2. Space Is Relative. 3. The Tragedy of Light. 4. Time Proves to Be Relative. 5. Clocks and Rulers Play Tricks. 6. Work Changes Mass. 7. Summing Up. Index. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Basic Books, Inc., New York, 1959. 23 black-and-white illustrations.
