A must read book for any one who wants to do serious work in fields of Polymer dynamics. It contains idea about lots of problems in this field to be worked out. The book gives a insight of the subject rather than giving too much emphasis on mathematical details.

de Gennes is one of the most eminent polymer physicists of our times, and this book is perhaps the most significant book in polymer physics. All books by this author are treasures of knowledge, concepts introduced in simple, yet elegant way. A must read for anyone who wishes to appreciate the structure and dynamics of polymeric materials!

I am interested in superconductivity and diffusion of superconductivity. I am studying superconductuvitiy and elektrodiffusion.

Possibly the best superconductivity book I have ever read. He covers GL equations excellently - he builds them up from Landau theory of phase transitions, by constructing them using the Helmholtz free energy. As far as the microscopic theory goes, BCS is brought from the very beginnings, in a methodical, logical mannar. The book is, however, a little mathematical for most people's tastes. A fair knowledge of quantum mechanics is needed before this book should be read (for example: Dirac notation, matix algebra to mention a few).
