Reviews
Easy to read and understand ... many examples which make it easier to understand. I can highly recommend this book * Michaela Kogler, University of Innsbruck *
This excellent book answers the questions of why and how the optical properties of solids differ from those of atoms. It is addressed to senior undergraduates, graduate students and researchers. The balance of physical explanation and mathematical description is very good. The text is supplemented by critical notes in the margins and integrated with self-explanatory figures. Several factors make this an excellent textbook. The problems with solutions augment the pedagogical value of the book, as do the chapter summaries, the further reading at the end of each chapter, the extensive and comprehensive appendices, the biography, the list of symbols and the index. * Barry R. Masters, OPN Optics & Photonics News 2011 *
