Atomic Many-Body Theory

In the new edition only minor modifications have been made. Some print­ ing errors have been corrected and a few clarifications have been made. In recent years the activity in relativistic many-body theory has increased con­ siderably, but this field falls outside the scope of this book. A brief sum...
