Reading for dark matter versus modified gravity

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the challenge of finding accessible resources for understanding the debate between dark matter and modified gravity theories. It highlights the lack of layperson-friendly textbooks, as most relevant literature is aimed at researchers and assumes familiarity with complex concepts. A suggested resource is a blog post from 2012 that features a dialogue among scientists discussing these theories, though it may still be too advanced for those without a background in the field. The conversation acknowledges that while the scientific discourse has evolved, the fundamental issues remain similar.

You will not find a textbook on this. The discussion is going on in the scientific literature. Which, as you know, is not written for laypeople.

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...
