Books: solid state, statistical, elementary particle physics

AI Thread Summary
Recommendations for textbooks in solid state physics, statistical physics, and elementary particle physics are discussed. Griffiths' book on elementary particles is considered a solid choice, with some suggesting it may be the best option. For statistical physics, Mandl's book is mentioned positively, indicating it is a good resource. There is uncertainty regarding solid state physics textbooks, with no specific recommendations provided. Additionally, "Electromagnetic Fields and Waves" by Lorian and Corson is highlighted as an excellent text for electromagnetism, while Robinett's quantum mechanics book is appreciated, though some express a desire for solutions to its problems. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting the right textbooks for these advanced physics subjects.

Greetings

Next semester I'll have solid state physics, statistical physics and and introductionary course in elementary particles. So I was wondering maby those of you who had those subjects could recommend me some books.
I really liked books by Griffiths so far. Especially the one on QM which I am still reading together with Shankar's. So I was thinking about grabbing Griffith's book on elementary particles. But maby there is better?
As far as statistical physics go I haven't really picked one but I have heard that the one by Franz Mandl is good. Is it?
I am even less sure about solid state physics.
So I guess what I really mean is that suggestions are more than welcome!

thanks

Look at " Electromagnetic FIelds and Waves", by Lorian and Corson. Amazing Electromagnetism text!
Quantum Mechanics, I really like text by Robinett. ( I wish I had anwsers to some of his problems)

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!
