SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
After a general chapter introducing the liquid state, the book is divided into four parts: thermodynamics; structure & fluctuations; phase transitions, interfaces & inhomogenous fluids; transport & dynamics. Each chpter is illustrated by a number of specific applications.
