The book "Dissipative Solitons: From Optics to Biology and Medicine" offers a comprehensive examination of the concept of dissipative solitons, which has gained significance over the past fifteen years. It highlights the development of classical soliton theory, which began in the 1960s, and illustrates how the theory of these nonlinear modes in integrable systems has evolved. The authors, Nail Akhmediev and Adrian Ankiewicz, present both mathematical and experimental findings that demonstrate the extensive application of solitons in various fields, including telecommunications, meteorology, and biology. The book is a valuable resource for scientists and students interested in the diverse aspects and applications of dissipative solitons.
