From the reviews of the second edition:
"This is a compact and rather consistent treatise of the Physics of Structural Phase Transitions (PSPT). Since the presentation is based on a very transparent pseudospin condensate approach and on the Landau mean-field theory, this book is accessible to students at under-graduate and post-graduate levels." (Valentin Zagrebnov, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1110 (12), 2007)
