Описание: Tall Tales are two collections of interactive photo-poetry-prose bound in one volume. Each collection features twenty individual fables. Each photo-inspired poem is accompanied by a blank page, inviting the reader to reflect, spin their own tale-scrapbook style. True to the age-old tradition of storytelling, a tale only gets better over time as it is told, retold, and embellished. Where did the tales come from? Growing up, woodlands were my playground, and they have always held a sense of enchantment. To me, the trees never felt lifeless or static but were rather the beholders of history-fact and legend. To this day, my inner child loves to listen to the whispered tales told by rustling leaves and swaying branches. The unique markings of their bark and the particular features of their windblown shapes add to the sense of aliveness they are exuding. The entire creation of this book-process and content as well as layout-came about in an inspired and inspiring journey. As I've noted in the introduction, found in the center page, the book was writing me rather than the other way around. True to form of all my creative expression, I never quite know where my adventure will take me. I've come to appreciate the unfolding of each step, realizing my job is to allow, to observe, to witness, to discover, and to document what reveals itself to me. It is my sincere wish that the reader will enjoy their journey of discovery as much as I have mine.
This invaluable book provides a broad introduction to a rapidly growing area of nonequilibrium statistical physics. The first part of the book complements the classical book on the Langevin and Fokker-Planck equations (H. Risken, The Fokker-Planck Equation: Methods of Solution and Applications (Springer, 1996)). Some topics and methods of solutions are presented and discussed in details which are not described in Risken's book, such as the method of similarity solution, the method of characteristics, transformation of diffusion processes into the Wiener process in different prescriptions, harmonic noise and relativistic Brownian motion. Connection between the Langevin equation and Tsallis distribution is also discussed.
Due to the growing interest in the research on the generalized Langevin equations, several of them are presented. They are described with some details.
Recent research on the integro-differential Fokker-Planck equation derived from the continuous time random walk model shows that the topic has several aspects to be explored. This equation is worked analytically for the linear force and the generic waiting time probability distribution function. Moreover, generalized Klein-Kramers equations are also presented and discussed. They have the potential to be applied to natural systems, such as biological systems.
