...an excellent desktop reference source for students and researchers who use, or are looking to use, computational approaches to study the solid state. It is well organized, with just enough detail to provide insight into various techniques and applications...The monograph also comes at an appropriate time, for as computational methods become accessible to many different researchers, an understanding and assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of the various models is needed. Angewandte Chemie A unique strength of the book is that the author presents the various methods from the context of problem-solving, with a fairly neutral perspective of the relative merits of each method. The book is highly readable and accessible for nonexperts and, along with other texts as noted above, should greatly enhance the training of anyone in this field. J. AM. CHEM. SOC.

Author Information

"Richard Dronskowski studied chemistry and physics at Münster University and gained his PhD from the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart. After one year as a Visiting Scientist at Cornell University and completing his lecturing qualification in 1995, he took up the chair of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry at RWTH Aachen University in 1997, as head of its Institute of Inorganic Chemistry. He has won the Kekulé and Liebig scholarships, the Otto Hahn medal awarded by the Max Planck Society, and the Chemistry Lecturer prize. In 2004, he became Visiting Professor at the Center of Interdisciplinary Research at Tohoku University, Sendai. Professor Dronskowski's research interests originate in the area of ""theorimental"" solid state chemistry, in particular the design, synthesis and structural as well as quantum-chemical characterization of low-valent, metastable, nitrogen-based, intermetallic and magnetic compounds."
