Berlin: Springer, 1995. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. P. Lévy's work on random walks with infinite moments, developed more than half a century ago, has now been fully appreciated as a foundation of probabilistic aspects of fractals and chaos as well as scale-invariant processes. This is the first book for physicists devoted to Lévy processes. It includes thorough review articles on applications in fluid and gas dynamics, in dynamical systems including anomalous diffusion and in statistical mechanics." Lecture Notes in Physics, Volume 450. Octavo: 347 p. Original printed boards; issued without a dust jacket. Some mild edgewear; otherwise very good. (Inventory #: 74852)
