Advanced Texts in Physics This program of advanced texts covers a broad spectrum of topics which are of current and emerging interest in physics. Each book provides a comprehensive and yet accessible introduction to a field at the forefront of modern research. As such, these texts are intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students at the MS and PhD level; however, research scientists seeking an introduction to particular areas of physics will also benefit from the titles in this collection.

To my parents, my wife and my children
Wahrheit und Klarheit sind komplement¨ar. E. Mollwo This aphorism was coined in the nineteen-fifties by E. Mollwo, Professor of Physics at the Institut f¨ ur Angewandte Physik of the Universit¨ at Erlangen during a discussion with W. Heisenberg. The author hopes that, with respect to his book, the deviations from exact scientific truth (Wahrheit) and perfect understandability (Klarheit) are in a reasonable balance. Just as an illustration of the above statement, the attention of the author has been drawn to the fact, that the same statement has been reported even in German language also from Niels Bohr. See Steven Weinberg, Dreams of a Final Theory, Vintage Books, New York (1994) p. 74.
