From the reviews: <p> A new addition to the mathematical theory of heterogeneous media, this book presents an overview of some standard methods for estimating or bounding overall properties, together with an extensive exposition of the authora (TM)s multiparticle effective field method (MEFM) a ] . There are 18 chapters in over 600 pages with 1240 references a ] bringing the readera (TM)s attention to the work of Russian authors. The monograph should serve as a useful reference to researchers in science and engineering disciplines concerned with analysis and design of composite materials. (George J. Dvorak, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 g) <p> This book deals with a detailed analysis of heterogeneous materials with special emphasis on composite materials that have ever increasing technological applications. References contain 1240 entries. As such it is invaluable for those working in this field. The author employs mainly statistical methods to analyse such materials which becomes more tractable in view of a large mass of statistical data now available due to sophisticated modern experimental techniques. A lot of materials in the book are based on the authora (TM)s own research works.a (Erdogan S. Suhubi, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1133 (11), 2008)
