This book has collected important papers in the development of liquid crystal science into one reference volume. The collection is divided into sections, each of which is prefaced by a brief commentary, referring to the historic-scientific context of the time.

More modern papers carry a short commentary from the original author, offering recollections of the context in which the work was carried out and what its impact has been.
