Abstract

When this remarkable book appeared in 1992, it became an instant classic. Combined with its precursor volume by the same authors, Photons and Atoms: An Introduction to Quantum Electrodynamics, these works deftly illuminate the central interactions between light and matter. I refer the reader to the excellent review of Atom–Photon Interactions: Basic Processes and Applications by T.A. Brian Kennedy (American Journal of Physics 61(6), 1993, p. 572).
