Abstract
THIS careful study of the electron theory of metals is intended in the first instance as a critical survey of the general principles of the theory and of the approximations made in working out its applications. No attempt is therefore made to give a full account of the applications of the theory to individual metals, and such applications as are given serve as illustrations for the use of the general methods.
The Theory of Metals:
based on an Essay awarded the Adams Prize in the University of Cambridge, 1931–1932. By A. H. Wilson. Pp. viii + 272. (Cambridge: At the University Press, 1936.) 18s. net.
