Overview

This volume is a collection of dedicated reviews covering all aspects of theoretical high energy physics and some aspects of solid state physics. Some of the papers are broad reviews of topics that span the entire field while others are surveys of authors' personal achievements. This is the most comprehensive review collection reflecting state of the art at the end of 2004. An important and unique aspect is a special effort the authors have invested in making the presentation pedagogical.

... a good place to become acquainted with many of the new ideas and methods used recently in theoretical physics. These books provide a good place to become acquainted with many of the new ideas and methods used recently in theoretical physics. It is also a great document for future historians to understand, first hand, what physicists thought of their subject at the turn of the 21st century. There is much to learn and profit from this trilogy.
