Re: [Phys-l] Classical Adiabatic Invariant

I'll have to double-triple-check when I get home. However, searching on Amazon in their "Look Inside!" feature, shows that the index entries for "adiabatic invariant" match exactly the page numbers I remember from my edition at home. This is for 

	* ISBN-10: 9781441930873
	* ISBN-13: 978-1441930873
	* ASIN: 1441930876which is the 2nd Edition. I *suspect* that all of the 2nd Edition ones are substantially the same, and anything published after 1990 should be unchanged. 

To answer your earlier question: Yes, 'g' is one of those parameters you can change continuously, without regard to phase, and have an adiabatic invariant. See, for example, the google books pages here:
