From the reviews of the second edition:
“Much of the book is taken up with the construction and solution of stochastic differential equations which describe the dynamics of the beads and chains, and considerable detail of the derivation of the final results from the initial equations is given. … a monograph for experts who wish to see a detailed discussion of the mechanics of the bead and chain model … . a technical and specialised work which will appeal to the expert reader who has the need and application to master it.” (P. T. Greenland, Contemporary Physics, March, 2012)
