Table of Contents Part I: Solid State; Part II: Liquid Crystals; Part III: Polymers; Part IV: Interfaces; Part V: Wetting and Adhesion; Part VI: Chirality Review Review of the second edition: "This book surely satisfies the requirements of those interested in this field of physics. On the whole I think that this book can give, especially to a young reader, a certain feeling about the enthusiasm and novelty of condensed matter research during the last three decades."Reviews of the first edition: "This book collects a series of articles in which problems which had always been thought quite intractable are shown to be solved by simple, but clear thinking. Although the phrase simple views is justified by the clarity of de Gennes exposition, the problems had been unresolved for decades and it is a tribute to de Gennes intuitive skill that he has been able to solve so many problems which are not only deep basic science, but also central in modern technology."
