Abstract
THE appearance of these two books is symptomatic of a new development in natural science, the birth of a comprehensive theory of the solid state. Both are the work of writers at least partly concerned with teaching, but whereas the first bears the firm impress of the university, the second is slightly technological, and reviews several interesting applications.
