Professor Johnson has made outstanding contributions to developing and applying relativistic correlation theory (relativistic many body perturbation theory) to atoms,and this book is an excellent modern treatment presented at the 2nd year graduate student level (i.e. to those who have 1 year of graduate quantum mechanics).The book is a nice mixture of formalism and computation-seldom seen in textbooks-which reflects the author's abilities and interests. The price is quite reasonable.The book should be of interest to quantum chemists,condensed matter computationalists,nuclear and atomic physicists,as well as those just interested in the formalism.
