This classic text for those studying ferroelectric and pyroelectric devices develops the modern theory of ferroelectricity in terms of soft modes and lattice dynamics and describes modern techniques of measurement including X-ray, optic, and neutron scattering, infra-red absorption, and magnetic resonance. Coverage encompasses basic theory at the fundamental level, through devices. Assumes some background in elementary thermodynamics, statistical mechanics, and quantum theory at the harmonic-oscillator level, but other than that the mathematical level of the text rarely requires anything more advanced than the solution of a simple differential equation.
