Editorial Reviews

Scientists from universities in the US, India, and Japan contribute three articles dealing mostly with the structural relations between liquids, crystals, and glasses, and the transitions between these states. They cover structural ordering in colloidal suspensions, crystal nucleation in liquids and glasses, and glass transition and relaxation of disordered structures. Accessible to undergraduates in physics. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

"Outrivals all existing reviews. It is a must for researchers in low-dimensional physics, as well as, for all those who want to know more about the latest evolution in this fascinating field."
—Semiconductor, Science and Technology
"A high standard is expected from the contributors and this volume certainly measures up to this requirement. This work should be available in libraries covering solid state physics and will be consulted by physicists, materials scientists, and chemists."
