Hi all.
I am a mechanical engineering entering the field of nonlinear wave.
I am finding an introductory text on this topic. Things about nonlinear wave, nonliear optics etc.
I would hope to get a really easy-to-read book first since I have actually NO prior experience in these fields AT ALL.
So, please kindly recommend some good texts for me.

This looks like a reasonable introduction: G.B. Whitham, Linear and Nonlinear Waves (Amazon.com link)

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!
