| Title | Foundations of Modern Physics |
| Author(s) | Steven Weinberg |
| Publication | Cambridge, Oxford University Press, 2021. |
| Description | xiv, 310p. |
| Abstract Note | In addition to his ground-breaking research, Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg is known for a series of highly praised texts on various aspects of physics, combining exceptional physical insight with his gift for clear exposition. Describing the foundations of modern physics in their historical context and with some new derivations, Weinberg introduces topics ranging from early applications of atomic theory through thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, transport theory, special relativity, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics, and quantum field theory. This volume provides the basis for advanced undergraduate and graduate physics courses as well as being a handy introduction to aspects of modern physics for working scientists. |

| Title | Lost in maths: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray |
| Author(s) | Sabine Hossenfelder |
| Publication | New York, Basic Books, 2018. |
| Description | xi, 291p. |
| Abstract Note | Whether pondering black holes or predicting discoveries at CERN, physicists believe the best theories are beautiful, natural, and elegant, and this standard separates popular theories from disposable ones. This is why, Sabine Hossenfelder argues, we have not seen a major breakthrough in the foundations of physics for more than four decades. The belief in beauty has become so dogmatic that it now conflicts with scientific objectivity: observation has been unable to confirm mindboggling theories, like supersymmetry or grand unification, invented by physicists based on aesthetic criteria. Worse, these "too good to not be true" theories are actually untestable and they have left the field in a cul-de-sac. To escape, physicists must rethink their methods. Only by embracing reality as it is can science discover the truth. |

| Title | Modern classical physics: Optics, Fluids, Plasmas, Elasticity, Relativity, and Statistical Physics |
| Author(s) | Kip S. Thorne ;Roger D. Blandford |
| Publication | Princeton , Princeton University Press, 2017. |
| Description | xl, 1511p. |
| Abstract Note | This first-year, graduate-level text and reference book covers the fundamental concepts and twenty-first-century applications of six major areas of classical physics that every masters- or PhD-level physicist should be exposed to, but often isn't: statistical physics, optics (waves of all sorts), elastodynamics, fluid mechanics, plasma physics, and special and general relativity and cosmology. this book is designed to broaden the training of physicists. Its six main topical sections are also designed so they can be used in separate courses, and the book provides an invaluable reference for researchers. |

| Title | Applied physics: Theory and Practicals |
| Author(s) | S. L. Kakani;Shubhra Kakani |
| Publication | New Delhi, Viva Books, 2015. |
| Description | xiii, 1171p. |
| Abstract Note | Written according to the latest curriculum of the AICTE and other boards of technical education of various states, this book is also useful for the students of class XI and XII, B.Tech. and students preparing for IIT-JEE, engineering, medical and other entrance examinations.
A good number of typical problems are solved and provided in each chapter to illustrate and supplement the text besides summaries, review questions and problems. A large number of short-answer questions and objective questions with answers are given to meet the requirements of IIT-JEE, engineering, medical and various other entrance examinations. Also included in the book are chapters on optical fibres, lasers, superconductivity, energy sources, the environment, etc. The pedagogical skill of the authors makes the presentation of the text extremely clear and comprehensive. |

| Title | Principles of physics: From Quantum Field Theory to Classical Mechanics |
| Author(s) | Ni Jun |
| Publication | New Jersey, World Scientific Publishing Co. Pvt. Ltd., 2014. |
| Description | xvi, 426p. |
| Series | (Tsinghua Report and Review in Physics) |
| Abstract Note | This book starts from a set of common basic principles to establish the formalisms in all areas of fundamental physics, including quantum field theory, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, general relativity, electromagnetic field, and classical mechanics. Instead of the traditional pedagogic way, the author arranges the subjects and formalisms in a logical-sequential way, i.e. all the formulas are derived from the formulas before them. The formalisms are also kept self-contained. Most of the required mathematical tools are also given in the appendices.
Although this book covers all the disciplines of fundamental physics, the book is concise and can be treated as an integrated entity. This is consistent with the aphorism that simplicity is beauty, unification is beauty, and thus physics is beauty. The book may be used as an advanced textbook by graduate students. It is also suitable for physicists who wish to have an overview of fundamental physics. |
