Withmore than 100 years of combined teaching experience and PhDs in particle,nuclear, and condensed-matter physics, these three authors could hardly bebetter qualified to write this introduction to modern physics. They have combined their award-winning teaching skills with theirexperience writing best-selling textbooks to produce a readable andcomprehensive account of the physics that has developed over the last hundredyears and led to today's ubiquitous technology. Assuming the knowledge of a typical freshman course in classical physics,they lead the reader through relativity, quantum mechanics, and the mostimportant applications of both of these fascinating theories.
