Aspects of symmetry : selected Erice lectures of Sidney Coleman

This collection of review lectures on topics in theoretical high energy physics has few rivals for clarity of exposition and depth of insight. Delivered over the past two decades at the International School of Subnuclear Physics in Erice, Sicily, the lectures help to organize and explain material that a the time existed in a confused state, scattered in the literature. At the time they were given they spread new ideas throughout the physics community and proved very popular as introductions to topics at the frontiers of research. For Almost Two Decades, Sidney Coleman Has Been Giving Review Lectures On Frontier Topics In Theoretical High-energy Physics At The International School Of Subnuclear Physics Held Each Year At Erice, Sicily. This Volume Is A Collection Of Some Of The Best Of These Lectures. To This Day They Have Few Rivals For Clarity Of Exposition And Depth Of Insight. Although Very Popular When First Published, Many Of The Lectures Have Been Difficult To Obtain Recently. Graduate Students And Professionals In High-energy Physics Will Welcome This Collection By A Master Of The Field. Includes Bibliographies.
