Stathis
AVA Publishing, 2008
The Best Book Explaining Why This is the Begining of The Big One
This is the best book on America's problems hands down. I am puzzled why I never heard of it before since the long edition was released in 2006. Stathis does not stop at his elaborate and very intelligent assessment of America's problems. This feat is alone monumental ...

Solid State Physics
Neil W. Ashcroft, N. David Mermin
Brooks Cole, 1976
Old book, but the physics is the same
The Ashcroft text is superior to other Solid State texts because of its readbility. It is not over-written like some texts, and its presentation of fundamentals is appropriate for a graduate course in solid state physics. It is not fair to under-rate the book simply ...

Mark Fox
Oxford University Press, USA, 2006
Excellent Introduction to Quantum Optics
