Self-Organization in Complex Ecosystems is an excellent book, and could very well be the very best of its type. -- othy F. H. Allen. BioScience There is no book like this in the canonical line of textbooks on theoretical ecology: Self-Organization in Complex Ecosystems views ecosystems from the perspective of self-organization and the emergence of their large-scale complex features. It does this from a largely mathematical perspective and, surprisingly, draws on several methods from theoretical physics. -- Stefan Bornholdt, TRENDS Throughout the volume, the authors provide examples of rigorous mathematical treatment and ecological problems of local and global significance using concepts and tools of statistical physics. These examples, as well as a solid background on the applicability of fundamental laws of physics in ecology, could provide excellent supplemental formation for theoretical ecology courses. -- Igor Linkov, Quarterly Review of Biology
