Editorial Reviews
Review
"…a welcome revision of the previous edition…" (CHOICE, May 2006)

"...strongly recommended for university and larger public library science reference collections." (Library Journal, May 1, 2006)

"very focussed and well-balanced"

"A remarkable editorial achievement!"

"The work has been modernized by additional entries. [The reader] will be pleased to find in one volume all that ranks among the insights of physics—from 'Absorption Coefficient, Accelerators' to 'X-Ray-Spectroscopy, Zeeman-Effect'."
— D. Kamke (Bochum, Phys. Bl. 47 (1991) Nr. 12)

"These two volumes are indeed one of the most remarkable publications in physics, a comprehensive and up-to-date work with every article authoritative."
—G.Roepstorff (RWTH Aachen, Germany)

"I am pleased to endorse this publication and recommend it to be in the library of all those involved in any aspect of physics."
—E.A. Boudreaux, University of New Orleans

"For more than 20 years now the two volumes have been recognized as one of the leading international encyclopedias in physics. Now the work is available in its third edition. With this new edition the authors intend to meet the demand for current, precise information of both classical and recent concepts in physics." (METALL)

Book Description
The editors of this Encyclopedia, earlier editions which met with international acclaim, have now provided a fully revised, expanded and updated third edition of this comprehensive reference work. In two volumes, 500 experts - among them several Nobel laureates and numerous other scientific award winners - offers a comprehensive and topical account physics and the physical world. the volumes comprise more than 500 articles, which have either been completely updated or are altogether new, covering the latest terminology and techniques in physics, including e.g. atomic trapping and cooling, biophotonics, econophysics, the formation of stars and planets, quantum communication, space science and technology, and traffic flow.
