This book, based on the 1989 Beg-Rohu summer school, contains six sets of pedagogical lectures by internationally respected researchers on the statistical physics of crystal growth. Providing a complete course in which the phenomena of shape and growth are viewed from a novel vantage point, the lectures cover not only very recent developments, but also reflect on old problems that have not always received the attention they deserve. Statistical physicists, condensed matter physicists, metallurgists, and applied mathematicians will find this a stimulating and valuable introduction to this important area of research.
