What is Dynamical Theory of Crystal Lattices (Oxford Classic Texts in the Physical Sciences) about?

THIS book was begun during the War, about fourteen years ago. My first book on crystals had appeared during the First World War, under the title Dynamik der Kristallgitter (Teubner, 1915). A few years later I was invited by Sommerfeld to write an article on the subject for the Mathemtical Encyclopaedia. This appeared in volume V, p. 527, under the title ‘Atomtheorie des festen Zustandes’ and was published as a separate book (Teubner, 1923). This was two years before the discovery of quantum mechanics. A report on the situation up to the year 1933 has been published as an article in the Handbuch der Physik by Maria Goppert-Mayer and myself. There are several other articles in this Handbuch by K. F. Herzfeld, R. de W. Kronig, A. Smekal, H. G. Grimm, and H. Wolff, dealing with problems of lattice dynamics. Meanwhile several books on crystal theory have been published which take proper account of quantum mechanics. The most comprehensive is that by F. Seitz, A Modern Theory of Solids (McGraw-Hill, N.Y. and London, 1940) ; other books, for example that by N. F. Mott and R. W. Gurney, Electronic Processes in Ionic Crystals (Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1940), deal only with restricted sets o
