Colors in Cambridge Glass II features 60 full-page color photos showing all the colors produced by the Cambridge Glass Company. In addition to those showing numerous items in individual colors, there are photos that compare several similar colors, transparent and opaque. Also included are shots illustrating such items as swans, the Statuesque line, and figural flower frogs. Each color photo is accompanied by a page of narrative, describing the color, its history, and the pieces shown. Compiled and written by National Cambridge Collectors, Inc., the book showcases glass from the organization's museum collection. All of the photographs and narratives are new with well over 1,000 pieces pictured.

This pedagogical and self-contained text describes the modern mean field theory of simple structural glasses. The book begins with a thorough explanation of infinite-dimensional models in statistical physics, before reviewing the key elements of the thermodynamic theory of liquids and the dynamical properties of liquids and glasses. The central feature of the mean field theory of disordered systems, the existence of a large multiplicity of metastable states, is then introduced. The replica method is then covered, before the final chapters describe important, advanced topics such as Gardner transitions, complexity, packing spheres in large dimensions, the jamming transition, and the rheology of glass. Presenting the theory in a clear and pedagogical style, this is an excellent resource for researchers and graduate students working in condensed matter physics and statistical mechanics.
