Media Reviews
From the reviews
In Waves Called Solitons, Michel Remoissenet stays focused on helping the reader understand what solitary waves are, to see how they maintain their integrity as they interact with one another, and to appreciate the roles that these coherent lumps of energy and information play in diverse areas of engineering, physical science, and biology. (...) this book will serve as the basic text for such an undergraduate course, introducing students to the emergence and dynamics of coherent states. I recommend it most highly. (A. Scott, SIAM Review, 2000)

The revisions and enlargements present in the current edition make the text an even more motivating introduction to the subject of solitons. (Zentralblatt fur Mathematik, 2000)

FROM REVIEWS OF PREVIOUS EDITIONS
Unquestionably one of the most exciting introductory books to the world of Solitons. Remoissenet uses a clear presentation based on simple and pedagogical explanations motivated by a great number of experiments ... Without a doubt, this book succeeds to introduce this important field in a simple way. (PHYSICALIA)
