About the Author:
"Peierls employs an economy of style and clarity of thought that distils the whole subject into a short and highly readable account. At the same time he infects the reader with his delight in discovering the curious consequences of applying the new quantum theory to periodic crystals. He begins in modern tradition with a discussion of lattice waves and immediately tackles the question of interaction with light and thermal conductivity. . .Peierls is very clear how an apparent mathematical necessity is manifest in a physical property. He always explains how the physics arises from the mathematics. . .I can recommend his clear treatment of theory of spin waves to the modern reader."--Materails World
R.E. Peierls (deceased) was Emeritus Professor at the Universities of Birmingham and Oxford.
