Soft Matter Physics: An Introduction [E-Book] / edited by Maurice Kleman, Oleg D. Lavrentovich.
Introductions to solid state physics have, ever since the initial book by F. Seitz in 1940, concentrated on simple crystals, with few atoms per cell, bonded together by strong ionic, covalent, or metallic bonds. References to weaker bonds, such as van der Waals forces in rare gases, or to geometric...
