Reviews
From the reviews:
"This impressive collection is a result of an international conference on ‘Facets of Universality in Complex Systems’, which was held in June 1999 at the University of Giessen, Germany. … What is found in and through this book are … 14 sophisticated examples of advanced modelling of non-linear processes, systems and systemic interdependencies. … My personal recommendation: A stimulating book … ." (Wolf Dombrowsky, Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Vol. 12 (4), 2006)
"The book considers the non-linear dynamics of complex systems, with examples drawn from climatology, biodynamics and economics. … I would like to congratulate the editors and the publisher. Publishing a book covering state-of-the-art analysis in three disciplines cannot be easy. This is a beautifully presented work … . The diagrams are of a consistently high standard with liberal use of colour, and always enhance the discussion. … In short, this is a very good book, bursting with ideas … ." (Tom Holt, The Holocene, Vol. 14 (2), 2004)
"This monograph grew from a 1999 Giessen workshop entitled ‘Facets of Universality in Climate, Biodynamics and Stock Markets’. It is interdisciplinary by intent. … The book delivers an invitation to explore new tools and an introduction to the application fields mentioned above which I found stimulating, with its breadth of coverage and wealth of references." (Greg Doherty, The Physicist, Vol. 41 (1), 2003)
