Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"Overall, the book is a remarkable achievement, bringing together as it does so many of the strands ofresearch in so many different fields of physics and mathematics, and managing to present a digestible mixture of experiment and theory in almost every article." (UK Nonlinear News, 2001)
