Summary "Planewaves, Pseudopotentials, and the LAPW Method, 2nd Edition, provides a comprehensive description of the LAPW (Linearized Augmented Plane Wave) method and its relationships with other first principles approaches for materials. The book is essential reading for practitioners of the method and for developers of electronic structure methods."--Jacket
