The spcciul flavour of this scvcntccnth voluinc (and the two volumes to follow) arises from the intentional comparison of the subject of this gciicral seriesthe rare earthswith the actinide clcmcnts. Thc obvious point of contact between thein nrc their f electron states. This is especially instructive when heavy-fcrinion behavior is considered. The cight chapters of vol. I7 arc devoted to physical :ispccts of tlic lunth:iiiidc and actinide series 11s follows: Electronic structure. Fcrmi surliiccs.
