Enrico Fermi: And the Revolutions in Modern Physics
Dan Cooper Enrico Fermi Owen Gingerich (Editor)
Publisher: Oxford University Press, Incorporated
Pub. Date: November 1998
From the Publisher
A biography of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist whose work led to the
discovery of nuclear fission, the basis of nuclear power and the atom
bomb.

From School Library Journal
Gr 8 UpA balanced discussion of the scientists life and work. Coopers coverage
of Fermis childhood and education, the political situation in Italy
that led him to immigrate to the United States in 1939, and his work on
the atomic bomb are particularly informative. Full-page sidebars explain
principles related to the physicists research: Fermi-Dirac statistics,
Heisenbergs matrix mechanics, and the production of new radioactive
elements by neutron bombardment. Captioned black-and-white photographs
of Fermi, his family, and his colleagues add interest. This book will
be useful for reports, but the complexity of the principles of quantum
and nuclear physics makes for challenging reading. The extensive list for
further reading includes biographies of Fermi, books on both scientific
and political aspects of the atomic-bomb project, and information on tours
of laboratories involved in nuclear research today. Ted Gottfrieds Enrico
Fermi (Facts On File, 1992; o.p.) covers much of the same
ground.Carolyn Angus, The Claremont Graduate School, CA Copyright 1999

The Theory of Interacting Fermi Systems
Philippe Nozieres David Pines (Editor) D. Hone (Translator)
Publisher: Perseus Publishing
Pub. Date: October 1997
From the Publisher
A classic from 1964, this monograph, translated from the original French,
provides a detailed exposition of field theoretical methods as applied
to
zero-temperature Fermi liquids. The machinery of diagrammatic techniques
is explained in detail, both for the ground state and for the Green's
functions (propagators) that describe elementary excitations. Special attention
is paid to the concept of quasiparticles in normal Fermi liquids, in
continuity with those of the noninteracting gas. The phenomenological theory
of Landau is justified from first principles. The extension of
perturbation methods to superfluid systems is discussed in the last chapter.
The book emphasizes methods and concepts more than specific
applications: It is aimed at graduate students and at condensed matter
physicists.
Notes on Quantum Mechanics: A Course Given by Enrico Fermi at the University
of Chicago
Enrico Fermi Robert A. Schluter
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
Pub. Date: August 1995
Edition Desc: 2nd ed
From the Publisher
The lecture notes presented here in facsimile were prepared by Enrico Fermi
for students of his course at the University of Chicago in 1954. They
are vivid examples of Fermi's unique ability to lecture simply and clearly
on the most essential aspects of quantum mechanics. At the close of
each lecture, Fermi created a single problem for his students. These challenging
exercises were not included in Fermi's notes but were preserved
in the notes of his students. This second edition includes a set of Fermi's
assigned problems as compiled by a former student, Robert A.
Schluter.
From the Critics
From Booknews
Facsimiles of the handwritten notes Fermi prepared and handed out to the
students of his 1954 course. The 1961 edition is here augmented with
the problems he set students at the end of each lecture, reconstructed
by one of the students. No index or bibliography. Annotation c. Book
