The crystal lattice: phonons, solitons, dislocations. By Arnold M. Kossevich. Pp. 326. Berlin: Wiley-VCH Verlag, 1999. Price DM 248.00, EUR 126.80. ISBN 3-527-40220-9.

This book presents `new trends in dislocation theory and an introduction to the nonlinear dynamics of 11) systems, that is soliton theory … the dislocation theory of 2D crystals … and a new treatment of the application of crystal lattice theory to physical objects and phenomena (such as) quantum crystals, electron crystals on a liquid helium surface, and lattices of cylindrical magnetic bubbles in thin-film ferromagnetics'.
