A.R.P. Rau is a theoretical physicist who has worked primarily in atomic physics and quantum information. He has spent time in universities and research institutions in Australia, Chile, France, Germany, and India.
...Rau's impressive poise in style and tone, ensure that The Beauty of Physics is not only accessible, but of rewarding interest and relevance to the broad audience which he seeks to address ... a lucid and at times reverberant reminder of the essential elegance of his subject. * Robert Thomas , The Oxonian Review * This book provides an amazingly coherent view on basic guiding principles not only of current modern developments in theoretical physics but also of science in general. Each chapter of the book is devoted to a different fundamental physical concept. A.R.P. Rau succeeds particularly well in emphasizing underlying general ideas and the unifying band of important scientific concepts thus making this timely book a stimulating source of ideas both for students and researchers in physics and for intellectually curious readers. * Gernot Alber, TU Darmstadt *
