Dynamical theory of crystal latticesby M. Born and K. Huang

Lattice dynamics has progressed a long way since Born and Huang's book was originally published in 1954.A paperback version, scarcely differing from the first edition, is now available.Though there is no discussion of neutron and X-ray scattering, and though the experimental information on elastic, thermodynamic and optical properties is now very dated, the book remains as a classic account of the quantum mechanical foundation of lattice dynamics.It is still an important supplementary text for all serious scholars of the theory of the solid state.
