How does the functionality of our brain tissue resemble the flow of traffic in New York City? How can understanding the spread of ideas, rumors, and languages help us tackle the spread a pandemic? This book provides an illuminating look into these seemingly disparate topics by exploring and expertly communicating the fundamental laws that govern the spreading and diffusion of objects. A collection of leading scientists in disciplines as diverse as epidemiology, linguistics, mathematics, and physics discuss various spreading phenomena relevant to their own fields, revealing astonishing similarities and correlations between the objects of studybe they people, particles, or pandemics. This updated and expanded second edition of an award-winning book introduces timely coverage of a subject with the greatest societal impact in recent memorythe global fight against COVID-19. Winner of the 2019 Literature Prize of the German Chemical Industry Fund, this book targets an interdisciplinary readership, featuring an introductory chapter that sets the stage for the topics discussed throughout. Each chapter provides ample opportunity to whet the appetite of those readers seeking a more in-depth treatment, making the book also useful as supplementary reading in appropriate courses dealing with complex systems, mass transfer, and network theory. 001468140 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001468140 650_0 $$aDiffusion. 001468140 650_0 $$aCulture diffusion. 001468140 650_0 $$aLanguage spread. 001468140 650_0 $$aCommunicable diseases$$xTransmission. 001468140 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001468140 7001_ $$aBunde, Armin,$$d1947-$$eeditor.$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000109057503 001468140 7001_ $$aCaro, Jürgen,$$eeditor. 001468140 7001_ $$aChmelik, Christian,$$eeditor. 001468140 7001_ $$aKärger, Jörg,$$eeditor.$$1https://isni.org/isni/0000000029857703 001468140 7001_ $$aVogl, Gero,$$eeditor. 001468140 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tDiffusive spreading in nature, technology and society.$$bSecond edition.$$dCham : Springer, 2022$$z9783031059452$$w(OCoLC)1346308033 001468140 852__ $$bebk 001468140 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-05946-9$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001468140 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1468140$$pGLOBAL_SET 001468140 980__ $$aBIB 001468140 980__ $$aEBOOK 001468140 982__ $$aEbook 001468140 983__ $$aOnline 001468140 994__ $$a92$$bISE
