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)
