Solid State Physics

1977 | N. W. Ashcroft; N. D. Mermin; R. Smoluchowski
The article reviews several physics textbooks and related works, highlighting their unique features and contributions to the field. It begins with a review of "Solid State Physics" by N. W. Ashcroft and N. D. Mermin, which is praised for its pedagogical organization and emphasis on fundamental concepts. The review also mentions "Structure and Evolutionary History of the Solar System" by H. Alfvén and G. Arrenius, which provides valuable insights into the theories of these authors but is less useful for general information. Another review focuses on "Contemporary Astronomy" by Jay M. Pasachoff, which is noted for its modern approach and engaging content, making it ideal for non-science majors. The article also covers other physics textbooks, including "Principles of Physics," "Basic Electronics for Scientists," "Physics for the Life Sciences," and "Applied Mathematical Physics with Programmable Pocket Calculators," each with specific strengths and features. Additionally, it reviews "Elastodynamics" by A. C. Eringen and E. S. Suhubi, which delves into the stress and strain in elastic solids, and discusses the advanced capabilities of specialized dewars used in scientific research.The article reviews several physics textbooks and related works, highlighting their unique features and contributions to the field.
