Synopsis
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.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good-. Very Good- in Wraps: shows mild rubbing and a hint of consequent soiling to the panels and with some bubbling and lifting of the vinyl overlay to the self-wraps; very mild wear to the extremities; a 1" split at the bottom of the front edge of the backstrip; some very faint smudging, thumbing, and soil spots to the outside edges of the text block; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A very good working copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing mild wear and the other noted flaws. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. Large 8vo (9.65 x 6.8 x 1 inches) . Translated by J. B. Sykes and J. S. Bell. Language: English. Weight: 35.3 ounces. The first English Edition was published in 1971. Paperback. This is an outstanding book. The former students of the great Russian physicist Lev Landau wrote a text based on his teaching and his papers, as well as on their own work. The result fits well in the magnificent Theoretical Physics course that carries the names of Landau and Lifshitz. There are differences between this text and the western analogues. Dirac equation is derived in a very elegant way using spinors, and the whole algebra of Dirac matrices becomes, in this way, much more natural, particularly, as one would expect, Lorentz invariance. The renormalization problem is treated in a very lucid way. The derivation of the Ward identities is very simple and amusing. High energy limits are treated in the Landau style, and well complements the more formal derivations based on the renormalization group. No book presents as many applications of quantum electrodynamics as this one. 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. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; xv, 652 pages Second Revised Edition; Eleventh Printing.
