With
more than 100 years of combined teaching experience and PhDs in particle,
nuclear, and condensed-matter physics, these three authors could hardly be
better qualified to write this introduction to modern physics.
They have combined their award-winning teaching skills with their
experience writing best-selling textbooks to produce a readable and
comprehensive account of the physics that has developed over the last hundred
years and led to today's ubiquitous technology.
Assuming the knowledge of a typical freshman course in classical physics,
they lead the reader through relativity, quantum mechanics, and the most
important applications of both of these fascinating theories.
