Ideal as a classroom text or for individual study, this unique one-volume overview of classical wave theory covers wave phenomena of acoustics, optics, electromagnetic radiations, and more.

Geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, this self-contained first course in quantum mechanics covers basic theory and selected applications and includes numerous problems of varying difficulty. 1992 edition.

Standard text covers classical statistical mechanics, quantum statistical mechanics, relation of statistical mechanics to thermodynamics, plus fluctuations, theory of imperfect gases and condensation, distribution functions and the liquid state, more.

Graduate-level text covers properties of the Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein distributions; the interrelated subjects of fluctuations, thermal noise, and Brownian movement; and the thermodynamics of irreversible processes. 1958 edition.

Popular physics primer by an acclaimed author offers accessible, imaginative explanations of string theory, the Schrodinger's Cat paradox, quantum uncertainty, black holes, and other cosmic oddities. Numerous playful illustrations.
