Recensione

Who is it for? Undergraduates and postgraduates in the field of physics, materials science, chemistry and electrical engineering disciplines. Presentation. Excellent. The text is chatty in its approach as required; it is perfectly complemented by numerous illustrations and worked examples. Would you recommend it? Definitely for anyone studying solid state theory. --THES Textbooks Guide 3 December 2009
