A reader in current topics in physics--and the only such survey written at the advanced-undergraduate level. Articles by more than 20 physicists present recent research results in a variety of pure and applied fields, including special and general relativity, quantum mechanics, semiconductors, fiber optics, elementary particles, and astrophysics. Each article covers the basics of the topic, then proceeds to the current state of the art. Includes photographs, diagrams, and tables.
