Complexity and systems science can be applied such diverse problems as the structure, history and future of the universe; the biological basis of consciousness; predictability, dynamics and extent of natural disasters; climate change; traffic management; and business cycles. The Encyclopedia of Complexity and Systems Science provides an authoritative single source for understanding and applying the concepts of complexity theory through mathematics and computational techniques. The Encyclopedia relates these to the tools and measures for analyzing complex systems in all fields of science and engineering. Coverage includes theories of self-organization, complex systems, synergetics, dynamical systems, turbulence, catastrophes, instabilities, nonlinearity, stochastic processes, chaos, neural networks, cellular automata, adaptive systems, and genetic algorithms. This unique work extends the understanding and usefulness of complexity and system science to a much wider audience than ever before.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Meyers has more than 20 patents and 50 technical papers in the fields of photochemistry, pollution control, inorganic reactions, organic reactions, luminescence phenomena and polymers. He has published in primary literature journals including Science and the Journal of the American Chemical Society, and is listed in Who’s Who in America and Who’s Who in the World. Dr Meyers’ scientific achievements have been reviewed in feature articles in the popular press in publications such as \u003cem\u003eThe New York Times Science Supplement\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/em\u003e as well as more specialized publications such as \u003cem\u003eChemical Engineering\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCoal Age. \u003c\/em\u003eA public service film was produced by the Environmental Protection Agency of Dr. Meyers' chemical desulfurization invention for air pollution control.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDr Meyers conceived and has served as Editor-in-Chief of the Academic Press (now Elsevier) \u003cem\u003eEncyclopedia of Physical Science and Technology\u003c\/em\u003e. This is an 18-volume publication of 780 twenty-page articles written to an audience of university students and practicing professionals. This encyclopedia, first published in 1987, was very successful, and because of this, was revised and reissued in 1992 as a second edition. The Third Edition was published in 2001 and is now on-line. Dr Meyers has completed two editions of the \u003cem\u003eEncyclopedia of Molecular Cell Biology and Molecular Medicine\u003c\/em\u003e for Wiley VCH publishers (1995 and 2004). These cover molecular and cellular level genetics, biochemistry, pharmacology, diseases and structure determination as well as cell biology.
