The objects considered are particles like atoms and molecules, just as living beings like humans, animals, plants, bacteria and even abstract entities like ideas, rumors, information, innovations and linguistic features. The book explores and communicates the laws behind these movements and reports about astonishing similarities and very specific features typical of the given object under considerations. Leading scientists in disciplines as different as archeology, epidemics, linguistics and sociology, in contact with their colleagues from engineering, natural sciences and mathematics, introduce into the phenomena of spreading as relevant for their fields. An introductory chapter on ?Spreading Fundamentals? provides a common basis for all these considerations, with a minimum of mathematics, selected and presented for enjoying rather than frustrating the reader. 606 $aNonlinear Optics 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aDevelopmental biology 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 606 $aPhysics 606 $aEpidemiology 606 $aNonlinear Optics 606 $aComplex Systems 606 $aDevelopmental Biology and Stem Cells 606 $aEnvironmental Physics 606 $aEpidemiology 615 0$aNonlinear Optics. 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 0$aDevelopmental biology. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aEpidemiology. 615 14$aNonlinear Optics. 615 24$aComplex Systems. 615 24$aDevelopmental Biology and Stem Cells. 615 24$aEnvironmental Physics. 615 24$aEpidemiology. 676 $a621 702 $aBunde$b Armin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCaro$b Jürgen$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKärger$b Jörg$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aVogl$b Gero$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300541803321 996 $aDiffusive Spreading in Nature, Technology and Society$91864494 997 $aUNINA
