More is Different by Nai-Phuan Ong
Presents articles which are based on invited talks presented at a conference honoring Nobel laureate Philip W Anderson of Princeton University, who coined the phrase More is different. This title covers numerous topics under the umbrellas of superconductivity, superfluidity, magnetism, electron localization, and interacting electronic systems.-

"This book fills a need for an accessible introduction to some problems at the forefront of condensed-matter physics research.. The editors have done an excellent job of assembling articles that offer a concrete and comprehensive demonstration of [Anderson's] original thesis."--Stephen Julian, Times Higher Education Supplement "I would recommend the book to condensed matter theoretical physicists who are interested in the broad range of complexity theory and exploring outside their usual bailiwick. Some elementary particle physicists would also have their horizons widened by reading the book."--Charlie Ironside, Contemporary Physics
