Summary:

Russian contributors provide a synthesis of ideas drawn from dielectric, magnetic and elastic relaxation. Divided into three sections, the book commences with dielectric and related processes in simple liquids. Part two deals with the structure and dielectric relaxation of aqueous solutions. Lastly, it addresses magnetic and dielectric relaxation in liquid crystals and elastic relaxation in orientable polymers.
