"Stoneham offers a critical survey of the theory of the most common defects in crystals, stressing assumptions made, and attempting to assess their value. He saw that already by the early 1970s, many of the underlying models, approximations, and assertions had been forgotten. His account is for researchers and graduate students in solid state science, both theorists who want to relate their own work to the many previous calculations, and experimentalists who want to know what, if anything, they should believe of present theories."--SciTech Book News
