Selected Works:

Principles of Quantum Mechanics - 1930: This book summarizes the ideas of quantum mechanics using the modern formalism that was largely developed by Dirac himself. Towards the end of the book, he also discusses the relativistic theory of the electron - the Dirac equation, which was also pioneered by him. This work does not refer to any other writings then available on quantum mechanics.

Lectures on Quantum Mechanics - 1966: Much of this book deals with quantum mechanics in curved space-time.

General Theory of Relativity - 1975: This 68-page work summarizes Einstein's general theory of relativity.
