Anotace:	Soft and Fragile Matter covers colloids, polymers, <P>surfactant phases, emulsions and granular media. <P>Recent advances in all these areas have <P>stemmed from vastly enhanced experimental and <P>simulation capabilities, and from fundamental <P>theoretical studies of systems driven out of <P>equilibrium. For example, 'jamming' in colloids <P>under flow may be related to fundamental work on <P>nonequilibrium phase transitions. Likewise, <P>'ageing' and plastic reorganization under stress, <P>found in soft gels, dense emulsions and other soft <P>materials, may relate to more general concepts of <P>glassy dynamics and coarsening. The book gives <P>a self-contained and pedagogical coverage of this <P>rapidly advancing field, with a strong emphasis on <P>unifying conceptual principles rather than <P>material-specific details. <P>Each chapter is written by an internationally <P>recognised expert, and the book has been <P>carefully edited to enhance its usefulness. The <P>book contains introductions, at the level of a <P>graduate course in soft condensed matter and/or <P>statistical phyiscs, to the following areas: <P>experimental techniques, polymers, rheology, <P>colloids, computer simulation, surfactants, phase <P>separation kinetics, driven systems, structural <P>glasses, slow dynamics, and granular materials. <P>These lead into a range of exciting applications at <P>the forefront of current research. Such topics <P>include: microplasticity of emulsions, sequence <P>design of copolymers, branched polymer <P>dynamics, nucleation kinetics in colloids, <P>multiscale modelling, flow-induced surfactant <P>textures, fluid demixing under shear, two-time <P>correlation functions, chaotic sedimentation <P>dynamics, and sound propagation in powders.
