This book is the second of a single-authored, three-volume series that aims to deliver a comprehensive and self-contained account of the vast field of solid-state physics. It goes far beyond most classic texts in the presentation of the properties of solids and experimentally observed phenomena, along with thebasic concepts and theoretical methods used to understand them and the essential features of various experimental techniques. The first volume deals with the atomic and magnetic structure and dynamics of solids, the second with thoseelectronic properties that can be understood in the one-particle approximation, and the third with the effects due to interactions and correlations betweenelectrons. This volume is devoted to the electronic properties of metals and semiconductors in the independent-electron approximation.
