style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Part of the
challenge of condensed matter and material physics is to find and seek out new
novel forms of order and materials properties. In this talk I will discuss some
of the new insights into electron condensation and order that derive from the
study off-electron materials, where "composite order” between magnetic
moments and itinerant electrons appears to play a central role in the
development of new quantum states, including "hidden order" and
superconductivity. I'll particular try to bring out the importance of a
creative tension between experiment, numerics and model-based approaches,
telling the story of how new numerical results prompted the rediscovery of a
forgotten piece of physics developed by Bob Schrieffer 40 years ago, relevant
to both f- and d- electron materials.</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;
