This invaluable book explores the delicate interplay between geometry and statistical mechanics in materials such as microemulsions, wetting and growth interfaces, bulk lyotropic liquid crystals, chalcogenide glasses and sheet polymers, using tools from the fields of polymer physics, differential geometry, field theory and critical phenomena. Several chapters have been updated relative to the classic 1989 edition. Moreover, there are now three entirely new chapters — on effects of anisotropy and heterogeneity, on fixed connectivity membranes and on triangulated surface models of fluctuating membranes.

The Statistical Mechanics of Membranes and Interfaces (D Nelson); Interfaces: Fluctuations, Interactions and Related Transitions (M E Fisher); Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics of Fluctuating Films and Membranes (S Leibler); The Physics of Microemulsions and Amphiphilic Monolayers (D Andelman); Properties of Tethered Surfaces (Y Kantor); Theory of the Crumpling Transition (D Nelson); Geometry and Field Theory of Random Surfaces and Membranes (F David); Statistical Mechanics of Self-Avoiding Crumpled Manifolds (B Duplantier); Anisotropic and Heterogeneous Polymerized Membranes (L Radzihovsky); Fixed-connectivity Membranes (M Bowick); Triangulated Surface Models of Fluctuating Membranes (G Gompper & D Kroll)
