QCD as a Theory of Hadrons
(2005)
This 2004 book provides a pedagogical introduction to the perturbative and non-perturbative aspects of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The text introduces the basic theory of QCD and its historical development, covering ...
The power of standards
(2019)
Standards often remain unseen, yet they play a fundamental part in the organisation of contemporary capitalism and society at large. What form of power do they epitomise? Why have they become so prominent? Are they set to ...
The Cambridge Handbook of Information Technology, Life Sciences and Human Rights
(2022)
Debates on the human-rights implications of new and emerging technologies have been hampered by the lack of a comprehensive theoretical framework for the complex issues involved. This volume provides that framework, bringing ...
Kinks and Domain Walls
(2007)
Kinks and domain walls are the simplest kind of solitons and are invaluable for testing various ideas and for learning about non-perturbative aspects of field theories. They are the subject of research in essentially every ...
Weak Scale Supersymmetry
(2007)
Supersymmetric models of particle physics predict new superpartner matter states for each particle in the Standard Model. These superpartners will have wide ranging implications, from cosmology to observations at high ...
Methods of Contemporary Gauge Theory
(2002)
This book introduces the quantum theory of gauge fields, emphasising four non-perturbative methods which have important applications: path integrals, lattice gauge theories, the 1/N expansion, and reduced matrix models. ...
Introduction to Quantum Fields on a Lattice
(2003)
This book provides a concise introduction to quantum fields on a lattice: a precise and non-perturbative definition of quantum field theory obtained by replacing continuous space-time by a discrete set of points on a ...
Strong Interactions of Hadrons at High Energies
(2009)
Vladimir Gribov was one of the founding fathers of high-energy elementary particle physics. This volume derives from a graduate lecture course he delivered in the 1970s. It provides graduate students and researchers with ...
A Bit Too Simple
(2025)
Elucidates the problematic impact of influential development metanarratives on different actors as well as policy and practice on sustainability challenges. This title is also available as open access on Cambridge Core.
Abuse in New Religious Movements
(2025)
This Element analyses issues of abuse in new religious movements (NRMs). It argues that certain factors can be intensified in NRM contexts, not least propensities for separation from wider society, teachings on unique ...
A Critical Genealogy of Humanism
(2026)
The genealogy of 'humanism' demonstrates its impossibility as a historiographical category since the Early Modern Period, thereby opening up the potentials of a critical historiography. This title is also available as open ...
Art and Anti-Racism in Latin America
(2025)
This collection interrogates how art with anti-racist intent can move beyond identity politics, embracing an inclusive anti-racism. It will be of interest to students and scholars in Latin American studies, ethnic and ...
Asymptotic Diffraction Theory and Nuclear Scattering
(2019)
This book presents a simple physical picture of diffractive nuclear scattering in terms of semi-classical trajectories. It demonstrates the transition from quantum to classical scattering, for researchers using scattering ...
Arendt on the Political
(2019)
A clear introduction to Hannah Arendt and a new interpretation of her work, this book shows how her reconceptualizations of political theory shed new light on the past and present of American politics. This title is also ...
Applying Corpus Linguistics to Illness and Healthcare
(2025)
Based on case studies, this is a guide to conducting corpus-based studies on health communication, from interactions in clinical settings to media representations of illness. It is essential reading for both students and ...
AI and Image
(2025)
AI and Image illustrates the importance of critical perspectives in the study of AI and its application to image collections in the art and heritage sector. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
An Introduction to Nuclear Physics
(2012)
This clear and concise introduction to nuclear physics provides an excellent basis for an undergraduate course. It sets nuclear physics in the context of elementary particle physics and shows how simple models can provide ...
Algorithmic Rule By Law
(2024)
Amidst a global rule of law crisis, this book shows how the rule of law is eroded by algorithmic regulation under the guise of efficiency, leading to algorithmic rule by law. This title is also available as open access on ...
Collaboration, Technologies, and the History of Shakespearean Bibliography
(2026)
The Element traces the history of Shakespearean bibliography, arguing that understanding these is foundational to researching Shakespeare. It underscores how taxonomic organization, ambit, and media of enumerative ...
Complexity Economics and Sustainable Development
(2024)
Provides a novel framework for overcoming analytical challenges in sustainable development. It walks the reader through an analytic toolkit and familiarises them with a diverse set of empirical applications. Audience ...
