"Remarkably comprehensive, clearly presented, and rich with examples. The scope of topics is encyclopedic, taking readers from broad classes to paradigmatic specifics such as helium and water. The book is quite different from and complementary to David Wales's book, Energy Landscapes."--R. Stephen Berry, University of Chicago"This is an extraordinary book, remarkable for its breadth of coverage, depth of physical insight, clarity, and technical rigor.

"Remarkably comprehensive, clearly presented, and rich with examples. The scope of topics is encyclopedic, taking readers from broad classes to paradigmatic specifics such as helium and water. The book is quite different from and complementary to David Wales's book, Energy Landscapes."--R. Stephen Berry, University of Chicago"This is an extraordinary book, remarkable for its breadth of coverage, depth of physical insight, clarity, and technical rigor. Invoking the energy landscape viewpoint as an overarching and unifying theme, Stillinger takes the reader on a fascinating journey whose ports of call include crystals, liquids, glasses, clusters, helium, polymers, and that most ubiquitous and intriguing of substances, water. A masterful panorama of condensed-matter physics and chemistry as viewed through the lens of the inherent structure formalism, presented by one of the subject's acknowledged masters."--Pablo G. Debenedetti, Princeton University"Stillinger has produced the most readable of all books on the subject, equally suitable for a course in chemistry or physics. It is also ideal for self-study by practitioners who want to better understand some of the more complex ideas that characterize current work in this area."--H. Eugene Stanley, Boston University"Stillinger provides a formalism for describing energy landscapes along with many examples of how this formalism may be used to understand the energetics of condensed-matter phenomena. His presentation will be of significant value to junior scientists, including beginning graduate students, as well as senior researchers. The book is a pleasure to read, with many interesting insights and discussions."--Paul Whitford, Northeastern University
