Granular materials can be found in an enormous variety of places: from the powders used to make vitamin pills to the rings of Saturn, from beaches to grain elevators, and from pottery clay to interstellar dust. This text covers the basic properties of uniform granular materials, the mixing and segregation of heterogeneous materials (the famous "brazil-nut problem"), and numerical models.

FROM THE REVIEWS: PURE AND APPLIED GEOPHYSICS "In total, the book is lucidly written and offers a complementary approach to that usually found in the books treating soil and granular media mechanics. It presents a physicist's viewpoint of granular media. It can also be used by both the researchers and in courses of soil mechanics." PHYSICS TODAY "Duran's book is didactic in style and provides an excellent starting point for an advanced student to enter the field...the prose is clear...would be a valuable addition for those with interest in the field."
