Philosophy of Developmental Biology
(2022)
The history of developmental biology is interwoven with debates as to whether mechanistic explanations of development are possible or whether alternative explanatory principles or even vital forces need to be assumed. In ...
Gauge/String Duality, Hot QCD and Heavy Ion Collisions
(2014)
Heavy ion collision experiments recreating the quark-gluon plasma that filled the nascent universe have established that it is a nearly perfect liquid that flows with such minimal dissipation that it cannot be seen as made ...

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is one of the most significant global environmental assessment bodies ever established, providing the most authoritative and influential reports on climate change ...
The Pinch Technique and its Applications to Non-Abelian Gauge Theories
(2011)
Non-Abelian gauge theories, such as quantum chromodynamics (QCD) or electroweak theory, are best studied with the aid of Green's functions that are gauge-invariant off-shell, but unlike for the photon in quantum electrodynamics, ...
Non-Perturbative Field Theory
(2010)
Providing a new perspective on quantum field theory, this book gives a pedagogical exposition of non-perturbative methods in relativistic quantum field theory and introduces the reader to modern research in theoretical ...
Introduction to Experimental Particle Physics
(1986)
This book brings together the most important topics in experimental particle physics in the late twentieth century to give a brief but balanced overview of the subject. The author begins by reviewing particle physics and ...
Classical Covariant Fields
(2002)
This 2002 book discusses the classical foundations of field theory, using the language of variational methods and covariance. It explores the limits of what can be achieved with purely classical notions, and shows how these ...
Hadrons and Quark–Gluon Plasma
(2002)
Before matter as we know it emerged, the universe was filled with the primordial state of hadronic matter called quark–gluon plasma. This hot soup of quarks and gluons is effectively an inescapable consequence of our current ...
