For graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics, chemical <br />
physics, materials science, and engineering, Singh (Banaras Hindu U.) reviews <br />
the literature reporting developments over the past three decades concerning the <br />
nature of liquid crystals and their application to various purposes. He <br />
generally assumes readers to be new to the materials, but does delve deeply into <br />
a few topics for readers with considerable background in them. After discussing <br />
the main types and classification, distribution functions and order parameters, <br />
and physical properties; he surveys the various types; and concludes by <br />
examining defects and textures.<br />
