Kritik

'The insight and depth of treatment which singles this book out from others in this field can be largely attributed to Weinberg's authority as an originator of many of the ideas in the book ... Experienced researchers and beginning graduate students alike will delight in the gems of wisdom to be found in these pages. This book combines exposition of technical detail with physical insight in a unique manner that confirms the promise of Volume 1 and I have no doubt that these two volumes will rapidly constitute the classic treatment of this important subject.'
