| Summary |
A progress report on the current state of affairs in the science of quasicrystals. Although designed to be self-contained, the volume can also be viewed as an update and companion to the lectures and reprints in The Physics of quasicrystals (World Scientific, 1987). It emphasizes critical experimental developments and important theoretical breakthroughs that have occurred in the four years since, subsequent to the initial excitement surrounding the discovery of quasicrystals.
