This book offers a didactic and a self-contained treatment of the physics of liquid and flowing matter with a statistical mechanics approach. Experimental and theoretical methods that were developed to study fluids are now frequently applied to a number of more complex systems generically referred to as soft matter. As for simple liquids, also for complex fluids it is important to understand how their macroscopic behavior is determined by the interactions between the component units. Moreover, in recent years new and relevant insights have emerged from the study of anomalous phases and metastable states of matter. In addition to the traditional topics concerning fluids in normal conditions, the authors of this book discuss recent developments in the field of disordered systems in condensed and soft matter. In particular they emphasize computer simulation techniques that are used in the study of soft matter and the theoriesand study of slow glassy dynamics. For these reasons the book includes a specific chapter about metastability, supercooled liquids and glass transition.The book is written for graduate students and active researchers in the field.

Una ragazza. Una casa nella campagna del sud della Francia. Il sogno di essere amati in una famiglia riunita. Un giovane dolore e una libreria a curare le ferite. Chiudere gli occhi per riaprirli in mondi paralleli e scoprire che non è un sogno. Salire a bordo e spiegare le vele ogni volta di un libro diverso che porta lontano...E scoprire tornando a casa che viaggiare non è scoprire nuove terre ma avere nuovi occhi.
