The Nature of Solids: With 173 Illustrations

tres bonne introduction au sujet même si parfois un peu rapide et pas évident à suivre

I've recently had to obtain a broad background in material science, and this book was a wonderful introduction. Holden gives great physical explanations with a wide array of simple models that are tailored to give the insight necessary to understand diverse topics such as crystal structure and symmetry, electrical conductance and specific heat with nary an equation.I highly recommend this to anyone who wants good understanding of the different physics in solids without getting bogged down in the math. It was a wonderful introduction for me.

Parlare di scienza ad un livello intermedio (non banalizzando ne complicando) è cosa molto complicata è difficile trovare libri come questo sicuramente vale la pena di leggerlo. Una bella introduzione alla fisica dello stato solido, senza ricorrere alla formalizzazione della matematica.
