Drawn from the symposium In Memoriam Ilya Prigogine on "Time, Irreversibility and Self-Organization held at the U. of Brussels in December 2004, these papers reflect the startling range of interests Nobel Laureate Prigogine developed in his vision of science, particularly in macroscopic physics and chemistry, microscopic physics, cosmology and the philosophy of science. Contributors cover the life and work of Prigogine, asymmetry in nonequilibrium statistical mechanics in time, quantum and classical dynamics of nonintegrable systems, statistical mechanics of a gravitational plasma, inverse problems for reaction-diffusion systems with applications to geographical population genetics, Carnot efficiency, genome-wide sequence analysis in the modeling of the replication of mammals as it applies to DNA in chromatin, and biological rhythms as temporal dissipative structures. The papers are well-presented and represent leading research, and the editors provide both author and subject indices. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ().
