Fluctuation phenomena are the ``tip of the iceberg'' revealing the existence, behind even the most quiescent appearing macroscopic states, of an underlying world of agitated, ever-changing microscopic processes. While the presence of these fluctuations can be ignored in some cases, e.g. if one is satisfied with purely thermostatic description of systems in equilibrium, they are central to the understanding of other phenomena, e.g. the nucleation of a new phase following the quenching of a system into the co-existence region. This volume, originally published several years ago, has stood the test of time well, as interest in fluctuation phenomena continues to grow. It contains a collection of review articles, some of them updated, written by experts in the field, on the subject of fluctuation phenomena. Some of the articles are of a very general nature discussing the modern mathematical formulation of the problems involved, while other articles deal with specific topics such as kinetics of phase transitions and conductivity in solids.

Preface. 1. Fluctuations (M. Kac and J. Logan). 2. On an enriched collection of stochastic processes (E.W. Montroll and B.J. West). 3. Stochastic geometry: aspects of amorphous solids (R. Zallen). 4. Statistical mechanical theory of the kinetics of phase transitions (H. Metiu, K. Kitahara and J. Ross). 5. Towards a rigorous molecular theory of metastability (O. Penrose and J.L. Lebowitz).
