Synopsis
Materials science has emerged as one of the central pillars of the modern physical sciences and engineering, and is now even beginning to claim a role in the biological sciences. A central tenet in the analysis of materials is the structure-property paradigm, which proposes a direct connection between the geometric structures within a material and its properties. The increasing power of high-speed computation has had a major impact on theoretical materials science and has permitted the systematic examination of this connection between structure and properties.

Review
"This discussion is an exercise in consciousness-raising, which many readers will find rather thought-provoking... I would recommend it to anyone wishing to get both a broad overview of the intersection of theoretical condensed matter physics with modern materials science, and some good pointers toward future research directions...a nicely-written, self-contained course on material physics." Physics Today
"...the writing style makes reading most enjoyable. The interesting aspect of the style is the author's readiness to stand back from the details to communicate to the reader an important message." Optics & Photonics News
