| adam_text | This book is about ideas and themes in physics. A small set of
them apply over broad areas of physics, and in that wide reach lies
some of the power, beauty, and attraction of the subject. Many metaphors
from ordinary language or other disciplines have been adopted by
physics, albeit with its own specific and distinct flavour.
The selection of topics reflects the author’s own four-decade career in
research physics and his resultant perspective on the subject. While aimed
primarily at physicists, including junior students, this book also addresses
other readers who are willing to think with symbols and simple algebra in
understanding the physical world around us. Each chapter, on themes
such as dimensions, transformations, symmetries, or maps, begins with
simple examples accessible to all while connecting them later to more
sophisticated realizations in more advanced topics of physics.
‘This book provides an amazingly coherent view on basic guiding
principles not only of current modern developments in theoretical physics
but also of science in general. A. R. R Rau succeeds particularly well in
emphasizing underlying general ideas and the unifying band of important
scientific concepts thus making this timely book a stimulating source
of ideas both for students and researchers in physics and for
intellectually curious readers. ’ Gemot Alber, TU Darmstadt
