This thorough clear and readable book is an important addition to theavailable literature on solitons in field theory. The inclusion of materials onsemiclassical quantization of field theories and on the relevant mathematicsin addition to the sections covering classical gauge fields broadens itsappeal. The book will be very useful In advanced undergraduate as well asgraduate courses on field theory. It will also serve as a modern review andreference for working theoretical physicists.Igor Klebanov PrincetonUniversityThis is an excellent text on field theory. The material is well thought outwell organized well presented and amply supplemented with problems.Dirkter Haar author of Master of Modern PhysicsProfessor Rubakov is an outstanding researcher and an exceptionally clearlecturer an unusual combination that shines through in this illuminating text.Students and active researchers can all learn something from this wellorganized and insightful text which is written so as to be widely accessiblebut authoritative.John Bahcall Institute for Advanced Study «
