SPRINGERBRIEFS IN PHYSICS EFFECTIVE THEORIES ...

This open access book...There is significant interest in the Philosophy of Science community to
understand the role that effective theories have in the work of forefront science. The ideas of
effective theories have been implicit in science for a long time  but have only been
articulated well in the last few decades. Since Wilson's renormalization group revolution in
the early 1970's  the science community has come to more fully understand its power  and by the
mid-1990's it had gained its apotheosis. It is still one of the most powerful concepts in
science  which has direct impact in how one thinks about and formulates theories of nature. It
is this power that this Brief sets out to emphasize through historical analysis and current
examples. This is an open access book.
