Introduction to Field Theory
Author: Iain T. Adamson
language: en
Publisher: Courier Corporation
Release Date: 2007-01-01
Acclaimed by American Mathematical Monthly as "an excellent introduction,"this treatment ranges from basic definitions to important results and applications, introducing both the spirit and techniques of abstract algebra. It develops the elementary properties of rings and fields, explores extension fields and Galois theory, and examines numerous applications. 1982 edition.
Bourdieu's Theory of Social Fields
Bourdieu’s theory of social fields is one of his key contributions to social sciences and humanities. However, it has never been subjected to genuine critical examination. This book fills that gap and offers a clear and wide-ranging introduction to the theory. It includes a critical discussion of its methodology and relevance in different subject areas in the social sciences and humanities. Part I "theoretical investigations" offers a theoretical account of the theory, while also identifying some of its limitations and discussing several strategies to overcome them. Part II "Education, culture and organization" presents the theory at work and highlights its advantages and disadvantages. The focus in Part III devoted to "The State" is on the formation and evolution of the State and public policy in different contexts. The chapters show the usefulness of field theory in describing, explaining and understanding the functioning of the State at different stages in its historical trajectory including its recent redefinition with the advent of the neoliberal age. A last chapter outlines a postcolonial use of the theory of fields.
Introduction to the Classical Theory of Particles and Fields

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media

This volume is intended as a systematic introduction to gauge field theory for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in high energy physics. The discussion is restricted to the classical (non-quantum) theory in Minkowski spacetime. Particular attention has been given to conceptual aspects of field theory, accurate definitions of basic physical notions, and thorough analysis of exact solutions to the equations of motion for interacting systems.
