This is a classical textbook about crystal lattice dynamics written by Nobel Laureate Max Born and his student Kun Huang. One of the authors, Dr. Kun Huang, has had substantial influence on a generation of Chinese physicists and has mentored Prof. Bangfen Zhu, who was my Ph.D supervisor. During the time I was working on my Ph.D, Prof. Zhu always urged me to pay equal attention to the fundamental theory and its material realizations. I believe such research style stems from Dr. Huang which now clearly influences my research. Therefore, I selected this book in memory of Dr. Kun Huang.
