| Title | Diffusive Spreading in Nature, Technology and Society |
| Author(s) | Bunde, Armin;Caro, J??rgen;Chmelik, Christian;K??rger, J??rg;Vogl, Gero |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2023. |
| Description | XXIV, 517 p. 173 illus., 130 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | What do the movements of molecules and the migration of humans have in common? How does the functionality of our brain tissue resemble the flow of traffic in New York City? How can understanding the spread of ideas, rumors, and languages help us tackle the spread a pandemic? This book provides an illuminating look into these seemingly disparate topics by exploring and expertly communicating the fundamental laws that govern the spreading and diffusion of objects. A collection of leading scientists in disciplines as diverse as epidemiology, linguistics, mathematics, and physics discuss various spreading phenomena relevant to their own fields, revealing astonishing similarities and correlations between the objects of study???be they people, particles, or pandemics. This updated and expanded second edition of an award-winning book introduces timely coverage of a subject with the greatest societal impact in recent memory???the global fight against COVID-19. Winner of the 2019Literature Prize of the German Chemical Industry Fund, this book targets an interdisciplinary readership, featuring an introductory chapter that sets the stage for the topics discussed throughout. Each chapter provides ample opportunity to whet the appetite of those readers seeking a more in-depth treatment, making the book also useful as supplementary reading in appropriate courses dealing with complex systems, mass transfer, and network theory. Chapter "Neolithic Transitions: Diffusion of People or Diffusion of Culture?" is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com |

| Title | Diffusive Spreading in Nature, Technology and Society |
| Author(s) | Bunde, Armin;Caro, J??rgen;K??rger, J??rg;Vogl, Gero |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2018. |
| Description | XVI, 418 p. 148 illus., 103 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book deals with randomly moving objects and their spreading. The objects considered are particles like atoms and molecules, just as living beings like humans, animals, plants, bacteria and even abstract entities like ideas, rumors, information, innovations and linguistic features. The book explores and communicates the laws behind these movements and reports about astonishing similarities and very specific features typical of the given object under considerations. Leading scientists in disciplines as different as archeology, epidemics, linguistics and sociology, in contact with their colleagues from engineering, natural sciences and mathematics, introduce into the phenomena of spreading as relevant for their fields. An introductory chapter on ???Spreading Fundamentals??? provides a common basis for all these considerations, with a minimum of mathematics, selected and presented for enjoying rather than frustrating the reader |

| Title | The Science of Disasters : Climate Disruptions, Heart Attacks, and Market Crashes |
| Author(s) | Bunde, Armin;Kropp, J??rgen;Schellnhuber, Hans-Joachim |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2002. |
| Description | XX, 453 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Are there universal laws governing the persistence of weather, and is it possible to predict climate transitions as generated by natural or man-made perturbations? How can one quantify the roller-coaster dynamics of stock markets and anticipate mega-crashes? Can we diagnose the health condition of patients from heartbeat time-series analysis which may even form the basis for infarct prevention? This book tackles these questions by applying advanced methods from statistical physics and related fields to all types of non-linear dynamics prone to disaster. The transdisciplinary analysis is organized in some dozen review articles written by world-class scientists |

| Title | Fractals and Disordered Systems |
| Author(s) | Bunde, Armin;Havlin, Shlomo |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1991. |
| Description | XIV, 350 p. 163 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Fractals and disordered systems have recently become the focus of intense interest in research. This book discusses in great detail the effects of disorder on mesoscopic scales (fractures, aggregates, colloids, surfaces and interfaces, glasses, and polymers) and presents tools to describe them in mathematical language. A substantial part is devoted to the development of scaling theories based on fractal concepts. In 10 chapters written by leading experts in the field, including E. Stanley and B. Mandelbrot, the reader is introduced to basic concepts and techniques in disordered systems and is lead to the forefront of current research. In each chapter the connection between theory and experiment is emphasized, and a special chapter entitled "Fractals and Experiments" presents experimental studies of fractal systems in the laboratory. The book is written pedagogically. It can be used as a textbook for graduate students, by university teachers to prepare courses and seminars, and by active scientists who want to become familiar with a fascinating new field |

| Title | Fractals in Science |
| Author(s) | Bunde, Armin;Havlin, Shlomo |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1994. |
| Description | XVI, 300 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Applying fractal geometry to science is bringing about a breakthrough in our understanding of complex systems in nature that show self-similar or self-affine features. Self-similar and self-affine processes appear everywhere in nature, in galaxies and landscapes, in earthquakes and geological cracks, in aggregates and colloids, in rough surfaces and interfaces, in glassy materials and polymers, in proteins as well as in other large molecules. Fractal structures appear also in the human body; well known examples include the lung and the vascular system. Furthermore, fractal geometry is an important tool in the analysis of phenomena as diverse as rhythms in music melodies and in the human heart?? beat and DNA sequences. Since the pioneering work of B.B. Mandelbrot, this interdisciplinary field has expanded very rapidly. The scientific community applying fractal concepts is very broad and ranges from astronomers, geoscientists, physicists, chemists and engineers to biologists and those engaging in medical research |
