The metal-insulator transition due to electron-electron interactions is one of the most celebrated but least understood problems in condensed-matter physics. Here this subject is comprehensively reviewed for the first time since Sir Nevill Mott's monograph of 1990. A pedagogical introduction to the basic concepts for the Mott transition, the Hubbard model, and various analytical approaches to correlated electron systems is presented. A new classification scheme for Mott insulators is proposed. This book is a reference in the field of electron transport in condensed matter.
