Rezensionen

'David W. Snoke is an experimental physicist with a deep understanding of solid state theory. His masterly distillation of the necessary mathematical ideas into understandable physics gained the first edition of this book an enthusiastic readership. This second edition preserves the readability while expanding the content to include some of the most up-to-date 'essential concepts'. A thorough study of the text will provide a new graduate student with a firm foundation for participating in the latest research.' Michael Stone, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign
