Recenzii
'The clarity of exposition supports the author's goal with respect to his view. In fact, as stated in the preface and outline of his work, he wished to overcome the frustration for the present contradicting and inconclusive literature in this field. The richness of specific examples also supports the book scope. The approach to modelling is also clearly described. … this book could be suitable also for non-experts in the field, due to its precise exposition of the subjects. I would recommend this book to people from different scientific backgrounds: starting from physics to biology, biochemistry and many others. The work by Bachmann should also be considered as … an acquisition, whose value is long-lasting. Finally, the exhaustive treatment contained in [this book] might also constitute a good support for defining future research paths and projects, which have now a wide spectrum of applications.' Marco Casazza, Contemporary Physics
