Solid State Book for studying the Physics of Matter

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on recommendations for accessible books on the physics of matter, specifically covering atoms, molecules, statistical physics, and solids. The original poster expresses dissatisfaction with "Manini - Introduction to the Physics of Matter" and seeks better alternatives. Participants suggest two notable titles: "Introduction to the Physics of Matter" and "Eisberg Resnick," both of which have received positive feedback in previous discussions. The poster expresses intent to acquire these recommended books.

Actually, I'm studyng on "Manini - Introduction to the Physics of matter", but it's a very bad book...

Thanks at all!

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
