Roger Elliott has been one of the leading figures in theoretical condensed matter physics for over three decades. In 1989, a symposium was held in Oxford to mark his sixtieth birthday. This book is a collection of thirty-eight articles by his-colleagues and ex-students, based on papers presented at the symposium. The articles are authoritative accounts of current developments in the physics of random systems (structural, dynamic, and statistical properties), magnetism and superconductivity, phase transitions, and quantum optics and excitonic effects. The theme of disorder figures prominently throughout the book.
