The study of random heterogeneous materials is an exciting and rapidly growing
multidisciplinary endeavor. This field demands a unified rigorous means of characterizing

the first of its kind to provide such an approach. Emphasis is placed on foundational
theoretical methods that can simultaneously yield results of practical utility.
