    • Dental Morphology

      An Illustrated Guide
      • 1st Edition
      • G. C. Van Beek
      • English
      Each tooth is clearly described, emphasizing the major diagnostic features. The drawings are the most outstanding features of this book. A line drawing faces each description, making text and illustration a two page unit. They are presented as a 'third angle projection' giving an accurate picture of all five aspects of the tooth.A revised, well illustrated text with a useful glossary of specialized dental terms.

    • Introductory Dynamical Oceanography

      • 2nd Edition
      • Stephen Pond + 1 more
      • English
      'Introductory Dynamical Oceanography' 2nd ed provides an introduction to Dynamical Physical Oceanography at a level suitable for senior year undergraduate students in the sciences and for graduate students entering oceanography. It aims to present the basic objectives, procedures and successes and to state some of the present limitations of dynamical oceanography and its relations to descriptive physical oceanography. The first edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and the new work includes reference to the Practical Salinity Scale 1978, the International Equation of State 1980 and the beta-spiral technique for calculating absolute currents from the density distribution. In addition the description of mixed-layer models has been updated and the chapters on Waves and on Tides have been substantially revised and enlarged, with emphasis on internal waves in the Waves chapter. While the text is self-contained readers are recommended to acquaint themselves with the general aspects of descriptive (synoptic) oceanography in order to be aware of the character of the ocean which the dynamical oceanographer is attempting to explain by referring to Pickard and Emery's 'Descriptive Physical Oceanography' 4th edition.

    • Quantum Electrodynamics

      Volume 4
      • 2nd Edition
      • V B Berestetskii + 2 more
      • English
      Several significant additions have been made to the second edition, including the operator method of calculating the bremsstrahlung cross-section, the calcualtion of the probabilities of photon-induced pair production and photon decay in a magnetic field, the asymptotic form of the scattering amplitudes at high energies, inelastic scattering of electrons by hadrons, and the transformation of electron-positron pairs into hadrons.

    • Physical Kinetics

      Volume 10
      • 1st Edition
      • L. P. Pitaevskii + 1 more
      • English
      This volume is mainly concerned with a systematic development of the theory of plasmas, the authority being firmly rooted in the pioneering work of Landau. Corresponding results are also given for partially ionized plasmas, relativistic plasmas, degenerate or non-ideal plasmas and solid state plasmas.

    • Quantum Mechanics

      Non-Relativistic Theory
      • 3rd Edition
      • L D Landau + 1 more
      • English
      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.

    • Statistical Physics

      Volume 5
      • 3rd Edition
      • L D Landau + 1 more
      • English
      A lucid presentation of statistical physics and thermodynamics which develops from the general principles to give a large number of applications of the theory.

    • Statistical Physics

      Theory of the Condensed State
      • 1st Edition
      • E.M. Lifshitz + 1 more
      • English
      The second part of 'Statistical Physics' deals with the quantum theory of the condensed state of matter. This volume is essentially an entirely new book, based on the large amount of new material which has become available in statistical physics since' Part 1' was published.

    • The Classical Theory of Fields

      Volume 2
      • 4th Edition
      • L D Landau + 1 more
      • English
      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-Heineman... It comprises nine volumes, covering all branches of the subject; translations from the Russian are by leading scientists.

    • Mechanics

      Volume 1
      • 3rd Edition
      • L D Landau + 1 more
      • English
      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.The final sections on adiabatic invariants have been revised and augmented. In addition a short biography of L D Landau has been inserted.
