This excellent book presents a nonmathematical account of contemporary solid-state physics theories, making it accessible to students with a background in high school physics or chemistry. It serves as a valuable primer for scientists and engineers in the field. The first half develops fundamental concepts in modern atomic physics, covering topics such as heat, heat capacity, order, symmetry, and the structures of atoms, ions, molecules, and metals. The second part applies these concepts to the structural and electrical properties of solid materials, discussing atomic motions, particles and waves, electrons in atoms and solids, electrical conduction, semiconductors, and magnets. An appendix titled "Scales of Energy" enhances the content. The author, a former research scientist and visiting professor, focuses on explaining theories and models that unify our understanding of solids within a broader scientific context. This well-written study effectively combines elements of physics, chemistry, and crystallography, providing a comprehensive and interconnected view of solid-state theory and its significance in modern science. Readers will appreciate the clarity and accessibility of the material, making it a pleasure to engage with.
