Abstract
We review the recent developments regarding critical phenomena near the metal-insulator transition. A discussion is presented of the experimental evidence for the effect on the transition due to localization and electron interaction. The critical phenomena fall into two classes. A theoretical explanation of these phenomena and their classification is presented and additional experiments are suggested.
