this book is excellently written for the chemists who are getting into materials science. the cross-over can sometimes be tough due to the "language barrier" in that materials typically uses different terms for subjects that chemists use. this book, being written specifically to bridge that gap, does an excellent job presenting the material for the chemists viewpoint.
the theory is well laid out and examples of computational approaches and discussion of results are clearly presented. the good and bad of methods are presented in an unbiased way allowing the reader to weigh all options in order to select an approach which is appropriate for their research.

i highly recommend this book for any upper level undergraduates of graduate student...or any chemist looking to cross over into the world of materials science.

This is really well written and a realtively easily understandable book for the most of the people in computational and material chemistry. The most attractive point found for me was the fact that many different codes and methods are nicely compared and gave a guideline to find which would be the most suitable method for a specific task. This is one of my favorite books, and I recommend it to the people looking for computational chemistry books.
