What are the best undergraduate-level books on the Casimir Effect?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around seeking recommendations for introductory books on the Casimir Effect, particularly suitable for someone with a background in classical electrodynamics and quantum mechanics, but not yet in quantum electrodynamics (QED). A specific resource is mentioned, a PDF from Robinett's website, along with an article from the American Journal of Physics as useful materials for understanding the topic. The request emphasizes the need for accessible literature to facilitate learning about the Casimir Effect at an undergraduate level.

Hey forumers!

I'm currently starting work on Casimir Effect. A simple, undergraduate level introductory book would be helpful here. Can you guys suggest anything that might suite my level?

I do know classical electrodynamics & QM, but not in QED yet..

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!
