Challenges in Granular Physics.

This handbook contains accounts of state-of-the-art approaches to the physics of granular matter, from a widely interdisciplinary and international set of experts in the field. The authors include theorists such as S.F. Edwards, J. Krug and J. Kurchan, and they seek to report current experimental ap...
