Hi, I studied from a book in the 90's. It was pretty good and I want to get back into QT. I have looked for it but, I know it from the cover and if they made a new edition it may not be online. It had a black cover with red bubble chamber particle trails. It was a textbook not a popularization. Anyone know this one.

Thanks

It might help if you also tell us what the book was about and the level it was written at.
 
Hi. It was an intro to quantum physics it had calculus. I read it and understood it after one year of physics. So maybe second year level or above.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
