Originally published in 1978. These essays are written by
distinguished philosophers from many countries and were published
as a homage to Spinoza in the year which marked the three-hundredth
anniversary of his death. A special feature of the book is that it
includes a recently discovered letter by Spinoza, reproduced for
the first time in English and in facsimile, with a commentary. The
controversial influence of Spinoza on Freud is discussed, and
illustrated by facsimile reproductions of original letters,
hitherto unknown to Freudians and Spinozists alike. These letters
direct revealing light on some of Freud's attitudes. Important
parallels between East and West will also attract the student of
Spinoza.

This book presents the science of tensors in a didactic way. The
various types and ranks of tensors and the physical basis is
presented. Cartesian Tensors are needed for the description of
directional phenomena in many branches of physics and for the
characterization the anisotropy of material properties. The first
sections of the book provide an introduction to the vector and
tensor algebra and analysis, with applications to physics, at
undergraduate level. Second rank tensors, in particular their
symmetries, are discussed in detail. Differentiation and
integration of fields, including generalizations of the Stokes law
and the Gauss theorem, are treated. The physics relevant for the
applications in mechanics, quantum mechanics, electrodynamics and
hydrodynamics is presented. The second part of the book is devoted
to tensors of any rank, at graduate level. Special topics are
irreducible, i.e. symmetric traceless tensors, isotropic tensors,
multipole potential tensors, spin tensors, integration and
spin-trace formulas, coupling of irreducible tensors, rotation of
tensors. Constitutive laws for optical, elastic and viscous
properties of anisotropic media are dealt with. The anisotropic
media include crystals, liquid crystals and isotropic fluids,
rendered anisotropic by external orienting fields. The dynamics of
tensors deals with phenomena of current research. In the last
section, the 3D Maxwell equations are reformulated in their 4D
version, in accord with special relativity.

Die hier behandelten Vielteilchensysteme - Gase, Nanosysteme und
Flussigkeiten - umfassen alle Formen der Materie, die zwischen
Teilchen (Bestandteile der Materie, Band 4) und Festkoerpern (Band
6) einzuordnen sind. Die Experimente stehen im Vordergrund.
Zusatzlich werden alle wichtigen theoretischen Ansatze und
Naherungen sowie die wesentlichen aktuellen Erkenntnisse zum
komplexen Gebiet der Vielteilchen von fuhrenden Wissenschaftlern
beschrieben. Insbesondere Nanoteilchen und funktionale Nanosysteme
haben in den letzten Jahren fur praktische Anwendungen zunehmendes
Interesse gefunden. Ihre Herstellung, die Analyse ihrer zum Teil
ganz neuen physikalischen Eigenschaften und ihre
Nutzungsmoeglichkeiten werden ausfuhrlich dargestellt. Pluspunkte:
umfassende Darstellung des komplexen Gebiets der Vielteilchen unter
Einbeziehung aller wichtigen aktuellen Erkenntnisse, fur die
Erarbeitung des Stoffes im Selbststudium geeignet.
