Electrons and Disorder in Solids

This book has been written for those who study or professionally deal with solid state physics. It contains modern concepts about the physics of electrons in solids. It is written using a minimum of mathematics. The emphasis is laid on various physical models aimed at stimulating creative thinking. The book helps the reader choose the most efficient scheme of an experiment or the optimum algorithm of a calculation. The author's approach to the subject is implicitly based on the assumption that science starts with experiment and that the theory comes next.
