Problems in theoretical physics often lead to paradoxical answers; yet closer reasoning and
a more complete analysis invariably lead to the resolution of the paradox and to a deeper …

Like its predecessor, this book by the renowned physicist Sir Rudolf Peierls draws from
many diverse fields of theoretical physics to present problems in which the answer differs …

When I received the invitation to give the Tarner lectures I thought that they would be a good
opportunity for expressing some of the accumulated prejudices and notions that have …

This book is written by a philosopher for other philosophers and for that section of the

THIS book, based on a year course of five lectures a week given y the author at Yale, is
designed as a text for first-year graduate students and for college seniors who are …

In this article I want to discuss the possibility that the goal of theoretical physics might be
achieved in the not too distant future, say, by the end of the century. By this I mean that we …

From about the beginning of the twentieth century experimental physics amassed an
impressive array of strange phenomena which demonstrated the inadequacy of classical …

Although the debate about the true nature of the quantum behavior of atomic systems has
never ceased, there are two periods during which it has been particularly intense: the years …

This book is for students who love physics and theoretical physics. It arises from the
dichotomy which, in my view, pervades most attempts to teach the ideal course in physics …
