  • COURSE OF THEORETICAL PHYSICS
    L. P. PITAEVSKII / E.M. LIFSHITZ / J. B. SYKES
    The approach to physical kinetics is closely integrated with that of other branches of physics as presented in the companion volumes of this series. The major part of the contents is concerned with a systematic development of the theory of plasmas, the authority being firmly rooted in the pioneer work of Landau. Although the main scope concerns fully ionized gaseous plasmas, co...

  • LANDAU: THE PHYSICIST & THE MAN
    J B J B SYKES
    The name of Lev Davidovich Landau is widely known as that of one of the greatest twentieth-century physicists. A brilliant teacher to those pupils he carefully chose, notoriously controversial in his outlook and opinions, the combination of his outstanding intellect and striking personality brought him almost legendary fame. This volume contains letters, papers and recollecti...

  • LANDAU
    A. LIVANOVA / J. B. SYKES
    A biography of Lev Landau, one of the greatest Soviet theoretical physicists, whose career was cut short by a catastrophic car accident in 1962 and who was still only sixty when he died six years later. He won the Nobel Prize 'for pioneering work on the theory of the condensed state of matter, particularly liquid helium'. But the book shows that Landau's characterisation of hi...

  • ELECTRODYNAMICS OF CONTINUOUS MEDIA
    LANDAU, L D / BELL, J. S. / KEARSLEY, M. J. / PITAEVSKII, L. P. / LIFSHITZ, E.M. / SYKES, J. B.
    Covers the theory of electromagnetic fields in matter, and the theory of the macroscopic electric and magnetic properties of matter. There is a considerable amount of new material particularly on the theory of the magnetic properties of matter and the theory of optical phenomena with new chapters on spatial dispersion and non-linear optics. The chapters on ferromagnetism and ...

  • PERSPECTIVES IN THEORETICAL PHYSICS: THE COLLECTED PAPERS OF E\M\LIFSHITZ
    SYKES, J. B. / TER HAAR, D.
    Evgenii Mikhailovich Lifshitz is perhaps best known for his long association with his mentor Lev D Landau, with whom he co-wrote the classic Course of Theoretical Physics, but he was a noted and respected Soviet physicist in his own right. Born in the Ukraine to a scientific family, his long and distinguished career will be remembered for three things - his collaboration with L...
