Scottish Graduate Series

The Scottish Graduate Series is a long-standing series of graduate level texts proceeding from the Scottish Universities Summer Schools in Physics (SUSSP). SUSSP was established in 1960 to contribute to the dissemination of advanced knowledge in physics, and the formation of contacts among scientists from different countries through the setting up of a series of annual summer schools of the highest international standard. Each school is organized by its own committee which is responsible for inviting lecturers of international standing to contribute an in-depth lecture series on one aspect of the area being studied.
