Books for Solid State physics and spectroscopy?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the need for accessible books that align with the current syllabus in solid-state physics. A recommended classic is "Solid State Physics" by Ashcroft and Mermin, known for its clarity and comprehensive coverage. Additionally, "Condensed Matter Field Theory" by Altland and Simons is suggested as a more contemporary resource, offering insights into the field while remaining understandable for students.

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...
