Onsager's semi-classical quantisation of cyclotron orbits

I have been working through a really nice paper
Topological Berry phase and semiclassical quantization of cyclotron orbits for two dimensional electrons in coupled band models
by J. N. Fuchs, F. PiƩchon, M. O. Goerbig and G. Montambaux

The Appendix below I found particularly illuminating

What is the integer quantum Hall effect?

And why is it so amazing? Surprises [about physics in two dimensions] occurred in the 1980s when it became possible to study Landau levels ...
