1	Caught by Disorder: Bound States in Random Media more books like this by Peter Stollmann add to wishlist Disorder is one of the central topics in science today. Over the past 15 years various aspects of the effects of disorder have changed a number of paradigms in mathematics and physics. One such effect is a phenomenon called localization, which describes the very strange behaviour of waves in random media. Instead of travelling through space as ... see all copies from $10.54! new only from $10.54! \| first editions
2	Disordered Materials: An Introduction more books like this by Paolo M Ossi add to wishlist This self-contained text introduces the physics of structurally disordered condensed systems at the level of advanced undergraduate and graduate students.

4	Soft Matter Physics: An Introduction more books like this by Maurice Kleman, Oleg D Lavrentovich, Oleg D Laverntovich add to wishlist Many materials have complex structural and dynamic properties intermediate between those of crystals and fluids. Among these are liquid crystals, with their well-known orientational order; colloids; polymer solutions and melts; foams; and gels; collectively these have come to be called 'soft matter'.

5	Fluctuations and Orderthe New Synthesis more books like this by Mark Millionas, Mark Millonas (Editor), Henry D I Abarbanel (Editor) add to wishlist This book is the result of a growing realization that fluctuations play an active, even creative, role in nonequilibrium processes such as self-organization, pattern formation, and information processing and energy transduction in biological systems. In contrast to the general notion that fluctuations represent an undesirable "noise" in such ... see all copies from $15.31! new only from $44.89! \| SVS
6	Chaotic Logic more books like this by Ben Goertzel add to wishlist This is the first work to apply complex systems science to the psychological interplay of order and chaos. The author draws on thought from a wide range of disciplines - both conventional and unorthodox - to address such questions as the nature of consciousness, the relation between mind and reality, and the justification of belief systems. The ... see all copies from $90.00! new only from $138.31! \| first editions \| SVS

8	Electron scattering theory for ordered and disordered matter more books like this by Weinberger add to wishlist The problem of the electronic structure of solid matter is addressed in terms of multiple scattering theory, starting from a short review of local density functional theories, the properties of Schrodinger and Dirac Hamiltonians for a central field, and resolvents and Green functions. Throughout this book, both ordered and disordered systems are ... see all copies from $43.74! new only from $43.74! \| SVS
9	Disorder and Order in Strongly Nonstoichiometric Compounds more books like this by Alexander I Gusev, Andrej A Rempel, A J Magerl add to wishlist This book embraces the entire range of problems associated with nonstoichiometry, disorder and order in solids. Although dealing primarily with transition metal carbides, nitrides and oxides, the methods and models presented are applicable to all systems with substitutional disorder and they permit a unified approach to the structure, phase ... see all copies from $43.74! new only from $43.74! \| first editions \| SVS
10	Supersymmetry and Trace Formulae more books like this by Igor V Lerner (Editor), David E Khmelnitskii (Editor), Jonathan P Keating (Editor) add to wishlist This volume provides a representative overview of recent progress in the theories of quantum disordered and chaotic systems, and an introduction to the underlying concepts and techniques. see all copies from $161.24! new only from $161.24! \| first editions \| SVS

13 view cover	The Physics of Structurally Disordered Matter: An Introduction more books like this by N E Cusack add to wishlist Even in crystalline matter most of the interesting phenomena are caused by imperfections in the structure. When the disorder is radical, as in disordered alloys or - even more - in liquids, glasses, quasi-crystals and amorphous solids, physics encounters different phenomena and new problems, many still unsolved. This book comprehensively ... see all copies from $15.00! new only from $99.00! \| first editions
14 view cover	Topics in Disordered Systems more books like this by Charles M Newman add to wishlist Disordered systems are statistical mechanics models in random environments. This lecture notes volume concerns the equilibrium properties of a few carefully chosen examples of disordered Ising models. The approach is that of probability theory and mathematical physics, but the subject matter is of interest also to condensed matter physicists, ... see all copies from $11.35! new only from $14.48! \| first editions \| SVS
15 view cover	Statistical Physics of Fracture and Breakdown in Disordered Systems more books like this by Bikas K Chakrabarti, L Gilles Benuigui, L Gilles Benguigui add to wishlist Under extreme conditions the mechanical or electrical properties of solids tend to be destabilized and failure or breakdown occurs. In practice these instabilities in the solid often nucleate or spread from disorders in the structure of the solid. This book investigates the modelling of such failure and breakdown processes. The basic principles ... see all copies from $47.95! new only from $90.00! \| SVS
