"The Encyclopedic Dictionary of Condensed Matter Physics is a dictionary and an abstractor for some topics. The Encyclopedia of Condensed Matter Physics, on the other hand, provides a series of definitive monographs on key topics in the field. Thus, the two works are complementary to each other." - Dr. G. L. Liedl (Editor, Encyclopedia of Condensed Matter Physics)
