| A concise book on Newtonian mechanics, rich with diagrams and electronic links, designed to serve as a textbook or supplementary resource for most mechanics courses offered at universities. At times, the book adopts unconventional concepts and ideas. These deviations from standard practices are based on the author's extensive experience in teaching the course. The book includes numerous solved problems that demonstrate how to systematically solve mechanics problems.

| Notes tailored for a one-semester course in analytical mechanics, written in a clear and organized manner, and featuring a large number of examples and solved exercises. The applications and examples span a wide and fascinating range of topics, from ice skating to dark matter in galaxies. The discussion occasionally becomes slightly more mathematical than usual, but even the most abstract concepts are accompanied by illustrative visualizations. (Ofer Eyal) |

| The book includes detailed explanations as well as numerous exercises with solutions. It primarily focuses on periodic crystals, radiation scattering from crystals, vibrations, and the electronic properties of solids.

This excellent book comprises six monographs: the Mossbauer effect, many body quantum mechanics, Kaon physics, scattering theory, Feynman diagrams and relativistic quantum mechanics. Each monograph is introduced by a summary and ends with a problem test. (D. W. Goodwin, Nature)
An excellent presentation of advanced topics in quantum theory with an unconventional approach. (Marek Karliner) |

| Notes that do not skip any proof and do not settle for hand-waving. At the same time, they include intuitive illustrations for every argument, the kind rarely found in most books.

| Lectures on advanced topics in quantum theory (including dynamics, propagators, scattering matrices, magnetic systems, second quantization, and the relativistic Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations), with an emphasis on motivation and deep understanding, alongside precise and clear theoretical development. Each chapter includes problems designed to sharpen understanding and enhance practice.

| Most textbooks in statistical mechanics start from some dogma, e.g., an isolated system is described by a microcanonical ensemble, that assigns equal probability to every admissible microstate, and then develops techniques to evaluate measurable quantities. This little book substitutes the dogma with a guiding principle: Bayesian inference or, as called in the book, Jaynes’ Principle.
