• 1. Semiclassical introduction; 2. Second quantization and the electron gas; 3. Boson systems; 4. One-electron theory; 5. Density functional theory; 6. Electron-phonon interactions; 7. Superconductivity; 8. Semiclassical theory of conductivity in metals; 9. Mesoscopic systems; 10. The quantum Hall effect; 11. Kondo effect and heavy fermions.

'I believe the book will mostly interest research physicists, including experimentalists, wanting to understand better some of the latest theoretical developments. For them it is a very good text indeed and the authors are to be congratulated on it.' J. L. Beeby, Contemporary Physics
