商品描述

This is a personal story about being involved in the study of nonlinear phenomena for more than half a century. The focus is on the development of ideas and the resulting knowledge. This is the visible part of research, but much is usually hidden. The author describes how the ideas were generated and how an "invisible college" of friends and colleagues has emerged. The presentation is spiced by thoughts about the beauty of science and philosophical considerations on the complex world, where nonlinear interactions play an important role.

The book is in some sense a biography but not so much about the personal life of the author - it is about science and its actors. Based on the author's experience in many European research centres and science policy institutions, it reflects on the development of knowledge in nonlinear dynamics as well as science policy actions over the second half of the 20th century and the first quarter of the 21st century. Graduates and postgraduates interested in the progress of research will find the book particularly engaging.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這是一個關於參與非線性現象研究超過半個世紀的個人故事。重點在於思想的發展及其所產生的知識。這是研究的可見部分，但許多內容通常是隱藏的。作者描述了這些思想是如何產生的，以及一個由朋友和同事組成的「隱形學院」是如何形成的。這本書中穿插了對科學之美的思考以及對複雜世界的哲學考量，在這個世界中，非線性互動扮演著重要角色。

這本書在某種意義上是一部傳記，但並不太關於作者的個人生活——它關於科學及其參與者。基於作者在許多歐洲研究中心和科學政策機構的經驗，書中反思了非線性動力學知識的發展以及20世紀下半葉和21世紀前四分之一的科學政策行動。對於對研究進展感興趣的畢業生和研究生來說，這本書將特別引人入勝。

作者簡介

Jüri Engelbrecht has taught at the Tallinn University of Technology since 1968 and joined the Institute of Cybernetics in 1969. He has published many research papers and several monographs on nonlinear wave motion, and has held many positions, including President of the Estonian Academy of Sciences (1994-2004), President of the European Federation of National Academies of Sciences and Humanities - ALLEA (2006-2011), Bureau member of the International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics - IUTAM, and Council member of Euromech. In 2015 he received the Estonian Lifetime Achievement award for his research and in 2020 - the Estonian Science Communication award for the long-term systematic popularization of science and technology.
