Summary: In addition to his ground-breaking research, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg is known for a series of highly praised texts on various aspects of physics, combining exceptional physical insight with his gift for clear exposition. Describing the foundations of modern physics in their historical context and with some new derivations, Weinberg introduces topics ranging from early applications of atomic theory through thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, transport theory, special relativity, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, and quantum field theory. This volume provides the basis for advanced undergraduate and graduate physics courses as well as being a handy introduction to aspects of modern physics for working scientists. A broad range of topics covered in compact form as advanced introductions for physicists, from advanced undergraduates to working scientists Special emphasis on the historical context elevates and illuminates scientific advancement to inspire the reader in their own work The latest in a series of textbooks written by the highly regarded Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg https://www.cambridge.org/in/academic/subjects/physics/general-and-classical-physics/foundations-modern-physics?format=HB&isbn=9781108841764
