Overview
Since the first edition of this highly successful book the field saw many great developments both in experimental and theoretical studies of electrical properties of non-crystalline solids. It became necessary to rewrite nearly the whole book, while the aims of the second edition remained the same: to set out the theoretical concepts, to test them by comparison with experiment for a wide variety of phenomena, and to apply them to non-crystalline materials. Sir Nevill Mott shared the 1977 Nobel Prize for Physics, awarded for his research work in this field. The reissue of this book as part of the Oxford Classic Texts in the Physical Sciences is a reprint of the second edition which was published in 1979.

Reviews
Not only a delight to read but also essential reading for anyone working in this exciting field. * A. J. Leadbetter, The Times Higher Education Supplement, 1980 * The book represents the single work which provides a focus to a field that, before Mott and Davis, had a divergent breadth. It is fitting that the Nobel Prize in physics was awarded to Sir Nevill Mott for contributions to this field, many of which are included in this book. * D.C. Licciardello, Nature * The book will be invaluable as a research source book for solid state scientists and students interested in the physics of disordered systems. * Philosophical Magazine B *
