"…excellent insight into theoretical physics at a level which is accessible for advanced undergraduates and above. It is brilliantly written and deserves a full recommendation."—Manuel Vogel, Contemporary Physics, 2013
"This is a remarkable sweeping overview. It not only conducts beginning students to several active frontiers of theoretical physics but even reveals aspects of an underlying conceptual and technical unity that can spur them into joining the quest. Especially valuable is the unified treatment of statistical mechanics and quantum field theory. New to this edition is a welcome treatment of constrained Hamiltonian dynamics with a discussion of implications for loop quantum gravity. I know of no other text written at this introductory level that succeeds so admirably in offering a mathematically rigorous yet accessible hint of the marvels of space and time that researchers will encounter in the twenty-first century."—Professor Donald Salisbury, Austin College
"Ian Lawrie’s Unified Grand Tour is an introduction to most of the fundamental areas in theoretical physics, aimed at readers with knowledge of physics equivalent to what is covered in an undergraduate physics program. The treatment is concise yet complete, the style informal and readable but also technically detailed. Compared to textbooks at this level, it has the advantage that it presents a unified picture of the different areas by using a coherent approach and consistent notation, making frequent references across disciplines, and explicitly discussing conceptual aspects which emphasize the connections. It goes beyond other overviews of theoretical physics at this level in that it provides the technical tools needed to understand the main ideas behind current research in gravitation and cosmology, quantum theory, particle physics and statistical mechanics. In fact, the author's goal was to write more than just a condensed version of more extended texts, and the result is a highly successful guide to our understanding of how nature works. The third edition contains several new sections on topics that have become important in recent years, such as the Higgs boson, massive neutrinos, dark matter and dark energy, cosmological perturbations, and a whole new chapter on the promising theory known as loop quantum gravity. I know I will keep a copy of this book within reach, and I can highly recommend it both for readers who need a detailed but quick introduction to an area, in particular if they are willing to spend the time to go over the end-of-chapter exercises, and for those who wish to develop a unified understanding of theoretical physics."—Luca Bombelli, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Mississippi, University, USA
"The Grand Tour of the 18th and 19th centuries took travellers on a pilgrimage round Europe’s cultural heritage, motivated by the ideal of an all-embracing liberal education in the arts and sciences, architecture and language. Ian Lawrie’s modern-day Grand Tour guides its readers on an equally stimulating intellectual voyage encompassing the unifying ideas of quantum field theory, general relativity and geometry that form the basis of our understanding of particle physics, cosmology and the early universe.In this new edition of his well-known textbook, familiar topics have been updated and augmented with extended discussions of the Higgs boson, neutrinos and the cosmic microwave background supplementing previously added sections on supersymmetry, string theory and quantum gravity, providing readers with the background to follow recent research in particle physics and string cosmology. Written for graduate students and other physicists seeking an introduction to the fundamental ideas underlying unified theories, this is a valuable addition to the literature on modern theoretical physics."—Graham Shore, Swansea University, Wales
Praise for Previous Editions:A Unified Grand Tour of Theoretical Physics has a charming first chapter that compares the overview of theoretical physics offered in the following chapters to the Grand Tour of the continent taken by young Englishmen in the 18th century … If a person were to work through the entire book, he or she would gain an understanding of relativity, quantum theory, spacetime, tensors, gauge theories, field theory, and statistical mechanics. New to the second edition is material on string theory and supersymetry.—E-STREAMS, Vol. 5, No. 9Written for advanced undergraduates, this book provides an accessible introduction to the major theories about spacetime geometry, general relativity, gravitation, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, relativistic wave equations, fundamental particles and their interactions, statistical mechanics, phase transitions, solutions, the early universe, super-symmetry and string theory.—Sci-Tech Book NewsWithin a single volume, this book meets a genuine need. It provides appropriate material to enable many of us to broaden our knowledge into areas that are only loosely related to our own specialties. I can certainly recommend it, and I am sure I will regularly use it personally. The author should be congratulated on generally meeting the aims he set out to achieve … it is likely to prove to be an extremely helpful resource.—Classical and Quantum Gravity, Vol. 19It is not a mere popularization of the edifices but a serious introduction to them.—Kailish Kumar, The Physicist, Vol. 39The book is laced with penetrating little insights delivered with a wry wit which makes for an entertaing read.—Times Higher Educational Supplement… it is perfect for an ambitious graduate student, an adventurous scientist in another field, or even an aging physics professor who has devoted himself to a specialty and will relish an excursion into unfamiliar territory.—Physics Today
