Institute of Physics Monographs for Students 1953 Paperback 62p stiff paperback with burgundy cover, pages clean and unmarked, fresh clean copy.  

“Institute of Physics. London Monographs for Students” was a series of books published by the Institute of Physics and IOP Publishing, likely from the mid-20th century, though the original “Monographs for Students” title is not a current main series. These older, now likely out-of-print, titles were aimed at students, covering topics like D.C. analogue computers, and can be found on used bookseller sites. Today, IOP Publishing offers modern series for students, such as the “IOP Concise Physics” and “IOP Series in Physics Education,” alongside a range of research and reference texts.
