An insightful and thorough review of Schroedinger's contributions and beyond. Written by a scientist.
Well written biography of the father of wave mechanics. The most amazing thing is what a philanderer the guy was. Fair assessment of the man, but does leave you with a slightly diminished opinion of the character of this famous physicist. Excellent coverage of the physics as well. Highly readable.
Surprisingly good in terms of laying out different models of solids, but the last chapter (anthracene) was tough going, maybe because I just don't know enough chemistry yet to appreciate what he was trying to say.
