497 с.Предисловие к первой главе:
«We assume that the reader is familiar with elementary quantum field theory and elementary relativity. In the present chapter. we outline the physics which we shall be concerned with in this book. This chapter is intended to establish notations and conventions and also to give enough background of selected topics with which many students may not be very familiar. Most of the topics are subsequently analysed in detail from topological and geometrical viewpoints.»
