"Most of the solid matter in nature is not crystalline, but amorphous: glasses, foams, pastes, granulars, and plastics, are but a few examples. These materials are not only ubiquitous, but also extremely important for practical, everyday applications. For simplicity, in the rest of this book we call these materials "glasses"--Preface.
