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and include results hitherto unpublished in English.
