Abstract

Gerald D Mahan 1981 New York: Plenum xiv + 1003 pp price $85 This is a comprehensive advanced text on basic solid state theory and aims to summarise what is generally known about most of the standard topics. It does this successfully and with plenty of detail.

Quantum Mechanics of Many Body Systems

Sam F Edwards

D J Thouless New York: Academic 1972 pp xi + 242 price $13.50 This is the second edition of a text which has gained wide acceptance by workers in its field. It is an introduction to the subject rather than a comprehensive treatise and indeed the latter would be a near impossibility since many body theory now encompasses the greater part of theoretical physics outside the high energy region.

By A. P. French New York : John Wiley and Sons, Inc. ; London : Chapman and Hall, Ltd. Pp. ix + 355. Price 54s. This is a very useful book indeed. If one compares it with two widely used texts, Slater's Modern Physics and Born's Atomic Physics, this book is more advanced and comprehensive than Slater's, less so than Born's.

"Singlemindedly devoted to its job of educating potential many-particle theorists…deserves to become the standard text in the field." - Physics Today"The most comprehensive textbook yet published in its field and every postgraduate student or teacher in this field should own or have access to a copy." - EndeavorA self-contained, unified treatment of nonrelativistic many-particle systems, this text offers a solid introduction to procedures in a manner that enables students to adopt techniques for their own use. Its discussions of formalism and applications move easily between general theo
