This tenth volume in the Poincare Seminar Series describes recent
developments at one of the most challenging frontiers in
statistical physics - the deeply related fields of glassy dynamics,
especially near the glass transition, and of the statics and
dynamics of granular systems. These fields are marked by a vigorous
interchange between experiment, theory, and numerical studies, all
of which are well represented by the leading experts who have
contributed articles to this volume. These articles are also highly
pedagogical, as befits their origin in lectures to a broad
scientific audience. Highlights include a Galilean dialogue on the
mean field and competing theories of the glass transition, a
wide-ranging survey of colloidal glasses, and experimental as well
as theoretical treatments of the relatively new field of dense
granular flows. This book should be of broad general interest to
both physicists and mathematicians.
