Reviews

From the reviews of the third edition: The subject area of solid state engineering is potentially very complex ! . Manijeh Razeghi takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the text to address the requirements for engineers and scientists ! . He commendably uses illustrations and worked examples for the benefit of comprehension; this is an excellent and well-rounded book. (Times Higher Education, December, 2009)
