"This well-written and well-edited volume contains the proceedings of the pioneering conference." "I have no doubt that the book will be of interest to a wide range of scientists: theorists who are looking for realizations of their curious constructions, experimenters who would like material incarnations of these, as well as researchers from biology, chemistry and other areas who are attracted by the new and exciting ideas." George M Zaslavsky Physics Today, 1993
