"This book continues the series of English translations of the revised and augmented volumes in the Course of Theoretical Physics ... unlike [volumes 2 and 3], the present volume 1 has not required any considerable revision ... Only the final sections, on adibiatic invariants, have been revised by L.P. Pitaevskii and myself."--Lifshitz, preface
