Review
This little book is a welcome addition to the literature on symmetries in physics. It is remarkable to see how much material can actually be presented in a rigorous way (incidentally, many of the results presented are due to Strocchi himself), yet this is largely ignored, the original heuristic derivations being as a rule more popular. The aim of Strocchi, however, is physics, not mathematics: at each step he strongly emphasizes the physical meaning and motivation of the various notions introduced. This results in a pleasant book, with an origninal structure (clearly stemming from the lectures on which the book is based).
Physicalia Vol 28/2, 2006
The mathematically oriented graduate student will certainly benefit from this thorough, rigorous and detailed investigation. - Zentralblatt MATH, 2006
The book is based on lectures given over a number of years. It is written in a pleasing style at a level suitable for graduate students in theoretical physics. While mathematically proper, it is not forbidding for a physics readership; the author is always aware this subject is a branch of physics. It should make profitable reading for many theoretical physicists. - L.H. Ryder, J. Phys. A, 38 (2005) 9719-9730
Altogether, we have here a book that fills a conspicous gap in the literature, and it does it rather well. It could also be a good basis for a graduate course in mathematical physics. It can be recommended to physicists and mathematicians as well and, of course, for physics/mathematics libraries.- J.-P. Antoine, Physicalia 28/2, 2006
"In these notes from lectures given at various occasions, the author explores the phenomenon of spontaneous symmetrybreaking as it arises in classical and quantum systems. a ] The mathematically oriented graduate student will certainly benefit from this thorough, rigorous and detailed investigation." (Gert Roepstorff, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1075, 2006)
"Spontaneous symmetry breaking is often explained as due to a non-symmetrical ground state. a ] Throughout this book practical physical examples are given a ] . The treatment should be commended for the care with which many woolly notions lurking in the literature of the subject are exposed and corrected. a ] it will certainly amply repay the effort for those that invest some time in this excellent book. a ] this is the type of book that many graduate students in the subject would much benefit by owning." (S. L. Altmann, Contemporary Physics, Vol. 47 (1), 2006)

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
