This book will be of interest not only to condensed matter physicists but physicists in a range of disciplines as the techniques explored apply to high-energy as well as soft matter physics"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9780429196942 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
