From the reviews:
"This book is an attempt to show the unity of soft matter systems. … It is noteworthy that the authors have emphasized and discussed in detail that the order parameter has two characteristics: an amplitude and a phase (also called a degeneracy parameter). … This book gives the conceptual means to classify the various types of singularities of an ordered medium. … This book will be very useful for researchers and postgraduate students." (K. M. Salikhov, Applied Magnetic Resonance, Vol. 27 (3-4), 2004)
"This monography on soft condensed matter originates from a series of lectures given by the authors … . The book is clearly written by two world leading experts of the field, it is an excellent basis for a third cycle course on the physics of liquid crystals. The bibliography is up-to-date and a list of valuable interesting references is added. … this book presents in a condensed but clear way many facets of a very rich and fascinating field. We recommend it … ." (Jean-Pierre Gaspard, Physicalia, Vol. 26 (1), 2004)
