This paperback book contains the proceedings of a six-day conference in Vienna, October 1977. It has been produced along the lines of previous proceedings, and prospective buyers would do well to look at the volume produced in 1973 after the meeting in Grenoble to appreciate the style of the work. The book is divided into sections according to the conference sessions I-X. Some of the articles are in Russian and some are in French but about 90% are in English; all are very much up to date. Session titles: (I/II) Sources & instru- ments; (Ill/IV) Molecular spectroscopy; (V) Liquid crystals and polymers; (VI) Monatomic liquids; (VII/VIII) Magnetic excitations and phase transformations; (IX) Hydrogen in metals; (X) Surfaces. Sessions I & II. The
