Classic Text on Perturbation Methods in Quantum Mechanics.
Publication of Dr. Corson's book fills an important gap in the literature of contemporary physics in that it provides a unified and comprehensive treatment of the quantum mechanics of many-particle systems. Dr. Corson's book offers a thorough exposition of the theory and methods for studying the properties and behavior of many-particle systems, a field which includes many of the most significant applications of quantum mechanics. The author is to be commended for undertaking the formidable task of writing a book of this scope, and for the successful achievement of his goal. His exposition is clear and logical; the mathematical treatment is elegant.
