Later on, he created Synergetics, the science of cooperation in multicomponent systems. The book concentrates on the development of his scientific work during the first thirty-five years of his career.   In 1970 he and his doctoral student Robert Graham were able to show that the laser is an example of a nonlinear system far from thermal equilibrium that shows a phase-transition like behavior. Subsequently, this insight opened the way for the formulation of Synergetics. Synergetics is able to explain, how very large systems show the phenomenon of self-organization that can be mathematically described by only very few order parameters. The results of Haken?s research were published in two seminal books Synergetics (1977) and Advanced Synergetics (1983).    After the year 1985 Haken concentrated his research on the macroscopic foundation of Synergetics. This led him towards the application of synergetic principles in medicine, cognitive research and, finally, in psychology.   A comprehensive bibliography of Hermann Haken?s publications (nearly 600 numbers) is included in the book.  . 606 $aDynamics 606 $aNonlinear theories 606 $aNonlinear Optics 606 $aPhysics?Philosophy 606 $aScience?History 606 $aApplied Dynamical Systems 606 $aNonlinear Optics 606 $aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy 606 $aHistory of Science 615 0$aDynamics. 615 0$aNonlinear theories. 615 0$aNonlinear Optics. 615 0$aPhysics?Philosophy. 615 0$aScience?History. 615 14$aApplied Dynamical Systems. 615 24$aNonlinear Optics. 615 24$aPhilosophical Foundations of Physics and Astronomy. 615 24$aHistory of Science. 676 $a509 676 $a530.01 676 $a620 676 $a621 700 $aKröger$b Bernd$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0739842 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299660703321 996 $aHermann Haken: From the Laser to Synergetics$91465978 997 $aUNINA
