This graduate textbook designed for students in physics, chemistry
and materials science provides a modern treatment of the theory of
solids dealing with the physics of electron and phonon states in
crystals and how they determine the structure and properties of
solids. The first part of the book deals with electrons and atoms
in a crystal, and the second part extends the discussion to defects
in crystals and to structures without crystalline symmetry. There
are numerous exercises throughout and appendices to provide the
necessary background.
