Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Recently it has been suggested that extended, driven systems selforganize to a critical state, a state only found at the phase transitions. Manifestations of this are fractal patterns in nature, e.g. fractured rocks, and the temporal fluctuations of river flow, electronic noise etc. In hydrodynamics the development of the space-time structures from laminar flow to turbulence has been much discussed in the last decade. The idea of self similarity may also be applicable to this phenomenon. This volume contains invited lectures and shorter contributed seminars on the topic.
