Physics of Self-Organization and Evolution - Ebeling Werner

Эта полностью обновленная версия авторитетной немецкой работы по самоорганизации была полностью переработана международно признанными экспертами и опытными авторами книг, чтобы также включить обзор более поздней литературы. Она сохраняет первоначальный энтузиазм и очарование термодинамических систем, далеких от равновесия, синергетики и происхождения жизни, представляя собой легко читаемую книгу и учебное пособие по этой захватывающей области. Книга уникальна тем, что подробно освещает экспериментальные и теоретические основы самоорганизующихся систем, а также такие избранные особенности, как случайные процессы, структурные сети и многоустойчивые системы, сосредотачиваясь на физическом и теоретическом моделировании процессов естественного отбора и эволюции. Авторы приводят примеры из физики, химии, биологии и социальных систем, включая результаты, до сих пор не опубликованные на английском языке. В результате получился ресурс, актуальный для студентов и ученых в области физики или смежных междисциплинарных областей, включая математическую физику, биофизику, информатику и нанотехнологии.

This thoroughly updated, revised version, written jointly by internationally recognized experts and accomplished authors, extends the prior work of the original German edition to include selected recent literature, remains free from all unfamiliarity and retains the excitement and fascination for "far-from-equilibrium" thermodynamic systems associated with synergetics and the origins of life. This book's unique nature lies in its detailed coverage of the experimental and conceptual foundations of self-assembling systems as well relevant features specifically in structural networks, multistability and random processes. More particular attention is paid to the physical modeling and theoretical explanation of natural selection processes and evolutionary phenomena. Drawing on matter found in several scientific disciplines--photography, chemistry, and biology among others--the authors present results that are currently unpublished in any English language source. In sum, this book will be a handy resource for interested students, physicists, chemists, biologists with a focus on interdisciplinary areas including mathematical physics and information science.

This thoroughly updated third edition of CoSE Review provides an exhaustive overview of the latest developments in the physics of self-organization and evolution, with enhancements and additions to cover updated bibliography and newly discovered evidence, making it an universal source both for students and researchers.

This thoroughly updated version of the German authoritative work on self-organization has been completely rewritten by internationally renowned experts and experienced book authors to also include a review of more recent literature. It retains the original enthusiasm and fascination surrounding thermodynamic systems far from equilibrium, synergetics, and the origin of life, representing an easily readable book and tutorial on this exciting field. The book is unique in covering in detail the experimental and theoretical fundamentals of self-organizing systems as well as such selected features as random processes, structural networks and multistable systems, while focusing on the physical and theoretical modeling of natural selection and evolution processes. The authors take examples from physics, chemistry, biology and social systems, and include results hitherto unpublished in English. The result is a one-stop resource relevant for students and scientists in physics or related interdisciplinary fields, including mathematical physics, biophysics, information science and nanotechnology.
