The aim of this book is to give a unified and critical account of
the fundamental aspects of liquid crystals. Preference is given to
discussing the assumptions made in developing theories and
analyzing experimental data rather than to attempting to compile
all the latest results. The book has four parts. Part I is quite
descriptive in character and gives a general overview of the
various liquid crystalline phases. Part II deals with the
macroscopic continuum theory of liquid crystals and gives a
systematic development of the theory from a tensorial point of view
thus emphasizing the relevant symmetries. Part III concentrates on
experiments that provide microscopic information on the
orientational behaviour of the molecules. Finally Part IV discusses
the theory of the various phases and their attendant phase
transitions from both a Landau and a molecular-statistical point of
view. Simplifying the various models as far as possible, it
critically examines the merits of a molecular-statistical approach.
