Böcker av A. H. Wilson

This second edition, first published in 1953 when the mathematical formulation of the theory of metals was substantially completed, provides a valuable survey for physicists and research metallurgists. It is a critical survey of the electronic properties of solids. A detailed index provides a useful aid to independent reading.

In this 1939 text, Alan Herries Wilson, who became chairman of Glaxo in 1963, shows his aptitude for scientific thought and writing, providing a fluent and informative introduction to the electron theory of metals. He makes clear the physical principles on which the theories of the 1930s were based.
