The second edition of a modern introduction to the chemistry and
physics of solids. This textbook takes a unique integrated approach
designed to appeal to both science and engineering students.
"Review of 1st edition"
"an extremely wide-ranging, useful book that is accessible to
anyone with a firm grasp of high school science...this is an
outstanding and affordable resource for the lifelong learner or
current student." Choice, 2005
The book provides an introduction to the chemistry and physics
of solids that acts as a foundation to courses in materials
science, engineering, chemistry, and physics. It is equally
accessible to both engineers and scientists, through its more
scientific approach, whilst still covering the material essential
to engineers.
This edition contains new sections on the use of computing
methods to solve materials problems and has been thoroughly updated
to include the many developments and advances made in the past 10
years, e.g. batteries, solar cells, lighting technology, lasers,
graphene and graphene electronics, carbon nanotubes, and the
Fukashima nuclear disaster.
The book is carefully structured into self-contained bite-sized
chapters to enhance student understanding and questions have been
designed to reinforce the concepts presented.
The supplementary website includes Powerpoint slides and a host
of additional problems and solutions.
