"French Nobel Laureate Claude Cohen-Tannoudji is second to none in
his understanding of the modern theory and application of
atom-photon 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 TodayThis book
presents a comprehensive overview of the spectacular advances seen
in atomic physics during the last 50 years. The authors explain how
such progress was possible by highlighting connections between
developments that occurred at different times. They discuss the new
perspectives and the new research fields that look promising. The
emphasis is placed, not on detailed calculations, but rather on
physical ideas. Combining both theoretical and experimental
considerations, the book will be of interest to a wide range of
students, teachers and researchers in quantum and atomic physics.

In many fields of modern physics, classical mechanics plays a key
role. However, the teaching of mechanics at the undergraduate level
often confines the applications to old-fashioned devices such as
combinations of springs and masses, pendulums, or rolling
cylinders.This book provides an illustration of classical mechanics
in the form of problems (at undergraduate level) inspired - for the
most part - by contemporary research in physics, and resulting from
the teaching and research experience of the authors. A noticeable
feature of this book is that it emphasizes the experimental aspects
of a large majority of problems. All problems are accompanied by
detailed solutions: the calculations are clarified and their
physical significance commented on in-depth. Within the solutions,
the basic concepts from undergraduate lectures in classical
mechanics, necessary to solve the problems, are recalled when
needed. The authors systematically mention recent bibliographical
references (most of them freely accessible via the Internet)
allowing the reader to deepen their understanding of the subject,
and thus contributing to the building of a general culture in
physics.
