Fracture and Complexity by Carpinteri Alberto The book explores the two opposite natural trends of composite systems: (i) order and structure emerging from heterogeneity and randomness, and (ii) instability and chaos arising from simple nonlinear rules. Providing insights into the rapidly growing field of complexity sciences, the book focuses on the role of complexity in…
Brouwer Degree The Core of Nonlinear Analysis by George Dinca and Jean Mawhin This monograph explores the concept of the Brouwer degree and its continuing impact on important areas of nonlinear analysis.The authors define the degree using an analytical approach proposed by Heinz in 1959 and further developed by Mawhin in 2004,linking it to the…
Earth, Our Living Planet The Earth System and its Co-evolution With Organisms by Philippe Bertrand and Louis Legendre Earth is, to our knowledge, the only life-bearing body in the Solar System. This extraordinary characteristic dates back almost 4 billion years. How to explain that Earth is teeming with organisms and that this has lasted for…

Oceans evolving concepts by Guy Jacques, Paul Tréguer, Herlé Mercier Since the HMS Challenger expedition of 1872–1876, our vision of the ocean has changed completely. We now understand that it plays a key role in biodiversity, climate regulation, and mineral and biological resources, and as such, the ocean is a major service provider for humanity….
Fracture Mechanics by Emmanuel E. Gdoutos This book discusses the basic principles and traditional applications of fracture mechanics, as well as the cutting-edge research in the field over the last three decades in current topics like composites, thin films, nanoindentation, and cementitious materials. Experimental methods play a major role in the study of fracture mechanics…
