Author Description

The Purpose Fo This Book Is To Present A Comprehensive Account Of The Physical Concepts And Theoretical Approaches Developed For The Study Of The Dynamical Properties Of Liquids (or More Generally, Of High-density Fluids) At A Microscopic Level. After A Discussion Of The Basic Dynamical Phenomena To Be Interupted, As Well As Of The Various Experimental Probes, The Book Gradually Exposes The Reader To The Sophisticated Theoretical Techniques Needed For A Satisfactory Account Of Both Single Particle And Coleective Motions. The Complications Are Faced In A Stepwise Fashion, With Special Attention To The Physical Content Of The Results. As A Result Of The Progress Achieved In The Last Decade, In The End A Satisfactory Understanding Of Most Of The Phenomena Characterizing This Fascinating Field Emerges.
