AB  - T he appellation "dirt physics" was given to three schools of physicists who, during the 1970s, began to work on questions related to the statics and dynamics of complex long-chain molecules.This work was called dirt physics because no one could imagine where the "physics" was or even what the general physics principles were.General principles as well as specific new results were found though, in abundance, by members of all three schools (and other "camp followers," including this reviewer).One substantial school grew up in the UK around Sir Sam Edwards, who in the 1960s had already recognized the uncanny parallels between quantum field theory and
