This book shows how using the concept of geometrical frustration elucidates the structure and properties of non-periodic materials including metals, amorphous solids, liquid crystals, amphiphiles, cholisteric systems, polymers, phospholipid membranes, atomic clusters, and quasicrystals. Appendices give all necessary background on geometry, symmetry and tilings.
