Opis

- Wherever possible simple examples, which illustrate the main ideas, are provided before embarking on the actual discussion of the problem of interest
- The book introduces the readers to problems of great current interest, like instantons, calorons, vortices, magnetic monopoles
- QCD at finite temperature is discussed at great length, both in perturbation theory and in Monte Carlo simulations
- The book contains many figures showing numerical results of pioneering work
