2rd edition — Dover Publications, Inc., 1996 — 480 p. — ISBN 0-486-69186-1This Dover edition, first published in 1996, is an unabridged, unaltered republication of the First Edition, Revised, originally published by the McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, New York, 1989. The original edition was published by the Macmillan Publishing Company, New York, 1982.This revised edition differs from its predecessor essentially in three ways. First, we have included an appendix describing the important recent developments that have made the efficient generation of equilibrium geometries almost routine. We are fortunate that M. Zerner agreed to write this since our own recent interests have been channeled in other directions. Second, numerous minor but annoying errors have been corrected. For most of these we are indebted to K. Ohno, T. Sakai and Y. Mochizuki who detected them in the course of preparing the Japanese translation which has recently been published by Tokyo University Press. Finally, we have updated the Further Reading sections of all the chapters. We are extremely pleased by the many favorable comments we have received about our book and we hope that the next generation of readers will find this edition useful.
