Liquid crystals, widely used in displays for electronic equipment
and other applications, have highly unusual properties arising from
the anisotropy of their molecules. It appears that some aspects of
the fluid dynamics of liquid crystals, such as their viscosity, can
be understood only by considering the role played by thermal
fluctuations. In order to provide a theoretical framework for
understanding the experimental results, the authors devote a large
part of the book to a derivation of the nonlinear dynamic equations
and to a discussion of linearized equations for the various types
of liquid crystals. The diagrammatic and other techniques they use
are of general use in condensed matter physics, and this exposition
should thus be of interest to all condensed-matter theorists.
