Correlations and Connectivity: Geometric Aspects of Physics, Chemistry and Biology (NATO Science Series E: (closed))

worked closely with the lecturers in preparing the manuscripts, and Greg Huber kindly proofread the final document. Michael Stanley and Idahlia Stanley are responsible for the photographs that adorn the otherwise wasted space at the end of each lecture, while the original drawings appearing on the pages separating the courses reflect the talents of Jean-Pierre Boon. Alfons Geiger contributed the perspective drawing of the hydrogen-bond network of liquid water that appears on the title page and Janos Kertesz suggested the title itself.
