Synopsis
This book provides a study in Bonding, Structure and Solid State Chemistry. It is based on lecture courses given over several years, but is not directed at any particular degree course. Thus, it will find a place in all years of first-degree courses in both chemistry and those subjects for which chemistry forms a significant part. It will also prepare readers for more intensive study in the title topics. Pre-knowledge is assumed in mathematics and physical sciences at about A-level. Additional mathematical and other topics are presented where necessary as appendices, so as not to disturb the flow of the main text. The book is copiously illustrated, including many stereoscopic diagrams (with practical advice on correct viewing) and colour illustrations. A suite of computer programs, some of which are interactive, has been devised for the book and is available on-line from the publisher's website [insert URL here]. They are available for both 32- and 64-bit operating systems, and are easily executed on a PC or laptop; notes on their applications are provided. Problems have been devised for each chapter and fully worked 'tutorial'; solutions are included. After an introductory chapter, the book presents a study based on the main interactive forces responsible for cohesion in the solid state of matter. No classification is without some ambiguity, but that chosen allows for a structured discussion over a wide range of compounds. Each chapter includes worked examples on the study topics which, together with the problems provided, should ensure a thorough understanding of the textual material.

Much of the text works best with a detailed knowledge of undergraduate level organic, physical, and inorganic chemistry. The concise, unembellished style is easy to read but leaves out useful background, examples, and applications. * E. J. Chang, CHOICE * Ladd's reputation for writing teaching text books is excellent. His new book makes a welcome and timely addition for core teaching in the physical sciences. * Judith A.K. Howard, Durham University * This book is an engrossing and engaging read. Complementing and building on modern classic texts; this volume bridges the gaps between bonding theory and the structure of solids. It will prove a useful text for students and established researchers alike and furthermore is an extremely rewarding book to dip into. * Duncan Gregory, University of Glasgow *
