Condensed Matter Physics
Product Review "In summary, the main strength of the book is that it conveys the enormous breadth of modern condensed matter physics and gives a basic, often conceptual account of these diverse topics." (Physics Today, June 2001) "there is clearly much here that lecturers and readers at the graduate level will find valuable." (Contemporary Physics, Vol 41/5, 2000) "I can thoroughly recommend it to students, graduates and teachers. I would even say that everyone who is interested more deeply in the exciting world of matter should have this book on their library shelf." (European Journal of Physics, Vol 21, 2000) "responds to the need in both the academic and research communities for a modern introductory treatment of this essential subject." (Zeitschrift Fur Kristollographie, Vol. 218, No. 7, 2003) Zeitschrift Fur Kristollographie, Vol. 218, No. 7, 2003 "responds to the need in both the academic and research communities for a modern introductory treatment of this essential subject." Reader Reviews I admire anyone who attempts to teach all of condensed matter physics in one book. That being said, being comprehensive and being comprehendible are two very different things. While being the former it sacrifices the latter. Marder does not do a good job of explaining the physical concepts needed to build a better understanding of advanced material. In addition, his end-of-chapter problems can be relatively uninformative and tedious i.e. you are left asking why did I just do this problem? Inevitably I find myself going back to Ashcroft & Mermin's wonderful but dated book. Hopefully one day they will publish a new edition... Comment | | (Report this)
