Nonlinear dynamics is now recognized as playing a crucialrole in a wide variety of disciplines. But what is only justbeginning is the important process of cross fertilizationand transfer of knowledge and expertise from one area toanother. This book is intended to promote this process whichwill undoubtedly contribute greatly to furthering ourunderstanding of complex systems. Contributions areprovided by leading experts from the areas of sociology,cognitive science, chemistry, physiology, ecology,economics, neural networks and physics.

Nonlinear dynamics is now playing an important role in many disciplines. This book is intended to promote the process of "cross-fertilization" by which knowledge and ideas from one field find new applications and extensions in other areas. Leading experts from all branches of the natural sciences have contributed to this fasci nating collection.
