  Atypically, this text has a discussion of anomalous velocity in Ch. 16.

Books with some coverage of course material

• Shankar, Principles of Quantum Mechanics, 2nd Edition (1994).
  Chapter 21, starting on p. 592, has a nice discussion of the Berry phase and the adiabatic separation of slow and fast variables.
• Martin, Electronic Structure (2004; paperback 2008).
  Especially Ch. 21 (Wannier functions) and Ch. 22 (Polarization, Localization, and Berry's Phase)
• Bernevig, Topological Insulators and Topological Superconductors (2013).
  Somewhat faster and more field-theoretic treatment of some of the same material.
• Nakahara, Geometry, Topology, and Physics (2003).
  A serious book on differential geometry, topology, manifolds, topological invariants, etc.
