The book "Soliton Management in Periodic Systems" offers a comprehensive and informative analysis of developments in the field of solitons in periodic media. Over the past ten years, research in this area has made both theoretical and experimental progress. The volume begins with an in-depth examination of the existence of stable solitary pulses in systems composed of a periodic arrangement of very different elements. Among the most well-known applications are dispersion management in fiber optics and the use of photonic crystals. Additionally, various systems that belong to this broad class of spatially periodic, strongly inhomogeneous media are discussed. These include, among others, split-step and tandem models that have been studied in nonlinear optics. The book provides a valuable compilation of fundamental results that are significant for the soliton community.
