In his groundbreaking paper "Absence of diffusion in certain random
lattices (1958)", Philip W Anderson originated, described and
developed the physical principles underlying the phenomenon of the
localization of quantum objects due to disorder. Anderson's 1977
Nobel Prize citation featured that paper, which was fundamental for
many subsequent developments in condensed matter physics and
technical applications. After more than a half century, the subject
continues to be of fundamental importance. In particular, in the
last 25 years, the phenomenon of localization has proved to be
crucial for the understanding of the quantum Hall effect,
mesoscopic fluctuations in small conductors, some aspects of
quantum chaotic behavior, and the localization and collective modes
of electromagnetic and matter waves.This unique and invaluable
volume celebrates the five decades of the impact of Anderson
localization on modern physics. In addition to the historical
perspective on its origin, the volume provides a comprehensive
description of the experimental and theoretical aspects of Anderson
localization, together with its application in various areas, which
include disordered metals and the metal-insulator transition,
mesoscopic physics, classical systems and light,
strongly-correlated systems, and mathematical models.The volume is
edited by E Abrahams, who has been a contributor in the field of
localization. A distinguished group of experts, each of whom has
left his mark on the developments of this fascinating theory,
contribute their personal insights in this volume. They are: A Amir
