An introduction to a realistic quantum physics /
This book is a remarkable synthesis, a clear and simple introduction to quantum physics with a sort of Galilean dialogue on the supreme systems of contemporary physics. The author, whose research interests and work extended from quarks to liquid systems and from crystals to stars, introduces the com...
