Rating: 5 of 5 This book gave me a new appreciation for difficulty of the many-body problem, and what insights are possible. It gave me a new respect for those people who pursue those difficult problems.
One of the opportunities I have during retirement is to revisit my library, to reread books I have enjoyed in the past, and to read some of the books I bought, but never got around to reading. This is one of those books I’ve had for a long time, possibly over 20 years, but never read. Now I wish I had read it much earlier. I’d like to have read it while in graduate school. However it was not yet available, indeed much of the work discussed, had not been accomplished yet.
