Review

Review of the hardback: 'Overall the book is interesting, provides a snapshot of the research in this field and a useful reference tool, that can replace scattered searching through the literature in the journals.' C. Rovelli, Classical & Quantum Gravity

Book Description

Many of the fundamental theories of modern physics can be considered as descriptions of dynamical systems subjected to constraints. The collected papers deal with problems such as; Chern–Simons theory, sigma-models, gauge invariance, general relativity and the notion of time, and quantum gravity.
