Prof. Leticia F. Cugliandolo, born in 1965, got her PhD in Physics from Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina, in 1991. Subsequently, she spent a three year post-doc at Università di Roma I, La Sapienza, and then moved to the Service de Physique de l'Etat Condensé at Saclay (CEA) and Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) de Paris for a second post-doctoral experience. In 1997 she became assistant professor at ENS Paris and in 2003 full professor at Université Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris VI where she presently teaches and pursues her research acivities. Since January 2007 she has been the Director of the Ecole de Physique des Houches. Dr. Thierry Dauxois took his PhD in 1993 from Dijon University (France) in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory. In 1994, he became CNRS researcher at Ecole Normale Supérieure in Lyon. He got a Marie Curie fellowship in 1996 to spend 6 months at Firenze University and a NATO fellowship in 1997 to spend one year at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California San Diego. His main field of research is nonlinear physics and statistical mechanics, with applications to biophysics, condensed matter and hydrodynamics. Prof. Stefano Ruffo, born in 1954, got his Laurea in Physics from Florence University (Italy) in 1977. In 1987 he won a national competition for an Associate Professorship in Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Basilicata. He moved to the Faculty of Engineering, University of Florence, in 1991, where presently he teaches basic physics and dynamical systems. He is a member of the Advisory Board of Physica A (Elsevier) and an Editor of Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulations (Elsevier). He has recently become a member of the C3 Commission (Statistical Physics) of the IUPAP.
The lecturers and authors of the chapters form an impressive list, all being leading scientists in the respective fields. [] This book provides, in a style accessible to graduate and PhD students, the necessary background about what has been achieved so far and what is likely to come in the near future. I believe this volume will remain for long an essential textbook and a reference to young researchers wishing to enter this expanding research field. G. Benedek, Il Nuovo Saggiatore
