Reviews
'This book has an excellent choice of both traditional and modern topics, which is not found elsewhere. Students and researchers will find it to be a valuable introduction to advanced solid state physics. The text is lucidly written, and there are many supplementary exercises for students to enhance their understanding.' Sudip Chakravarty, Distinguished Professor and David S. Saxon Presidential Term Chair of Physics, University of California, Los Angeles
'[This book] has an excellent mixture between modern and traditional topics, with emphasis on strongly correlated phenomena ... The presentation of the subjects is very pleasing, with important formulas in gray boxes, simple illustrations and instructive tables. Numerous exercises help to deepen the understanding and give additional background on modern developments like, for example, graphene ... an ideal textbook for getting acquainted with the most important methods and concepts in modern condensed matter physics ...' Matthias Eschrig, Journal of Applied Crystallography
