- catalog abstract ""The aim of this book is to familiarise the reader with the collection of ideas, methods and results available in the theory of critical phenomena in systems with confined geometry. The existence of universal features of the finite-size effects arising due to highly correlated classical or quantum fluctuations is explained by the finite-size scaling theory."--Jacket.".
