The complete Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau & Lifshitz, recognised as two of the world's outstanding physicists, is published in full by Butterworth-Heinemann. It comprises ten volumes, covering all branches of the subject.
Covers the theory of electromagnetic fields in matter, and the theory of the macroscopic electric and magnetic properties of matter. There is a considerable amount of new material particularly on the theory of the magnetic properties of matter and the theory of optical phenomena with new chapters on spatial dispersion and non-linear optics. The chapters on ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism and on magnetohydrodynamics have been substantially enlarged and eight other chapters have additional sections.
Presents, at a level suitable for undergraduates and technical college students, the basic physical theory of mechanics and the molecular structure of matter. The material contained in the work should correspond quite closely to courses of lectures given to undergraduate students of physics in Britain and America.

A comprehensive textbook covering not only the ordinary theory of the deformation of solids, but also some topics not usually found in textbooks on the subject, such as thermal conduction and viscosity in solids.

The fourth edition contains seven new sections with chapters on General Relativity, Gravitational Waves and Relativistic Cosmology. The text has been thoroughly revised and additional problems inserted. The Complete course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifshitz, recognized as two of the world's outstanding physicists, is published in full by Butterworth-Heinemann. It comprises nine volumes, covering all branches of the subject; translations from the Russian are by leading scientists.
Part 2 of Statistical physics begins with an extensive discussion of the theory of quantum liquids, which was dealt with briefly in the second edition of Statistical physics, by Lev Landau and E.M. Lifshitz; part 1 of Statistical physics is now the third edition of volume 5 of the Course of theoretical physics, by L.D. Landau and E.M. Lifshitz.
