Cambridge / London / New York: Cambridge University Press, 1979. 6" wide by 9" tall. A shiny, clean, square, tight copy. Still bright. No fading. No store stamp, owner's name or bookplate. Pages are fresh, crisp and unmarked -- apparently never read. No underlining. No highlighting. No margin notes. Flat, uncreased spine. From the rear cover: "The physical and chemical properties of disordered systems such as liquids, glasses, alloys, amorphous semiconductors, polymer solutions and magnetic particles, are explained nowadays by theories based on a variety of mathematical models, including random assemblies of hard spheres, tetrahedrally-bonded networks and lattices of 'spins.' This book describes these models and the various mathematical theories by which the observable properties are derived." Comprehensive bibliography (pp. 492-510). Index. Bound in the original two-tone (maroon and deep purple) wraps. . First Edition. Trade Paperback. Fine condition. xiii, 525pp. .
