Hi everyone, :wink:

I have a copy of this book:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/013097417X/?tag=pfamazon01-20

I don't think it is a good book. Even some people on Amazon also note that. I am not very good in math and want to understand things from conceptual point of view. Some books use math to explain everything. I don't find this approach good. You should first at least give some conceptual understanding to the reader. I need a book for a beginner.

I have found this book with good reviews but was thinking perhaps you knew a better one. Here it is: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0072463317/?tag=pfamazon01-20.

Tell me please some good book which gives me good understanding and conceptual foundation. Much grateful for your opinion.

Cheers

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!
