Band theory is evident all around us and yet is one of the most stringent tests of quantum mechanics. This textbook attempts to reveal in a quantitative fashion how band theory leads to the everyday properties of materials. It is suitable for final-year undergraduate and first-year graduate students in physics and materials science.

The superb book describes the modern theory of the magnetic properties of solids. Starting from the fundamental principles, this copiously illustrated volume outlines the theory of magnetic behaviour, describes, experimental techniques, and discusses current research topics. The book is intended for final year undergraduate students and graduate students in the physical sciences.
