Principles of the theory of solids

J. M. Ziman (Author)
This updated classic textbook gives a clear exposition of the elements of physics of perfect crystalline solids. In discussing these crystals the author aims to give students an appreciation of the conditions needed for the appearance of various phenomena. A self-contained mathematical account is given to the simplest model for demonstrating each principle.
