FROM THE REVIEWS:
ZEITSCHRIFT FUR PHYSIKALISCHE CHEMIE
"...the textbook is an excellent introduction into most fields of modern solid state theory and may be recommended to...graduate students in physics and material sciences as well as researchers in the field of solid state physics."
PHYSICALIA
"...the book is remarkably well articulated and its organization is crystal-clear...Because this book requires a good-knowledge of quantum mechanics and also some prior knowledge of the most important solid-state phenomena, we shall recommend it to advanced graduate students or researchers, having already been introduced to the solid-state physics. They shall find in it a systematic introduction of the concepts of solid-state theory, presented in a unified way, that is illuminating from many points of view."
