      abstract = {This book deals with randomly moving objects and their  spreading. 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.},
