- Summary:
- "This book demonstrates quantitatively how to use power law statistics to explain fractal-diffusive self-organized criticality systems for observed astrophysical phenomena. Students, post-docs, and researchers interested in nonlinear physics or complex systems generally will appreciate this demonstration of the universality of physical scaling laws"-- Provided by publisher
