Recenzii
'I recommend this book. It is a practical no-nonsense cookbook which should be on the bookshelves of graduate students in this area.' Martin Grant, Physics in Canada
'The authors made a significant effort to describe the main principles of pattern formatio in a transparent manner … The book is generously illustrated and has a useful index … a useful reference for graduate students and researchers in many fields including nonlinear dynamics, engineering, biophysics [and] statistical mechanics …' Zentralblatt MATH
'I enthusiastically recommend this book to graduate students and young researchers entering the exciting and truly interdisciplinary field of self-organization and self-assembly in complex systems. The book is very useful, provides an excellent source of reference material, and is clearly a valuable asset and excellent introduction not only for graduate students, but also for professors looking to build a course on pattern formation and self-assembly.' Igor Aranson, Argonne National Laboratory
'This book is a practical collection of topics in pattern formation, worked through step by step. Each topic is given a brief, even breezy discussion; the 31 chapters whip by five or ten pages each. Overall, I recommend this book. It is a practical, no-nonsense cookbook which should be on the bookshelves of graduate students in this area.' Martin Grant, McGill University
'While the book includes a broad range of topics it is easily readable even by non-specialists … I enthusiastically recommend this book to graduate students and young researchers … very useful … clearly a valuable asset …' Journal of Statistical Physics
'The text is very well written and grips the attention of the reader. It is pitched at a level that will be understandable to graduate students, and much of it will be accessible to final year undergraduates. There are numerous figures and illustrations to illuminate the text, an extensive list of references, and a good index. In my opinion, it is an excellent book that can be recommended warmly both to libraries and for personal purchase by physicists and nonlinear dynamicists, especially hose working or teaching in the area of self-organisation.'
