This volume contains a selection of important papers by P.G. de
Gennes (1991 Nobel Prize Winner in Physics) which have had a
long-lasting impact on the understanding of condensed matter (solid
state physics, liquid crystals, polymers, interfaces, wetting and
adhesion). A typical example is the original article on "reptation"
of polymer chains. The author has added some "afterthoughts" to the
main papers (explaining their successes or weaknesses), and some
current views on each special problem. Complex systems (polymers or
granular matters, and so forth) are explained without heavy
calculations, using simple scaling laws as the main tool.
