✦ Synopsis

Self-organized criticality (SOC) is based upon the idea that complex behavior can develop spontaneously in certain many-body systems whose dynamics vary abruptly. Researchers have observed characteristic general behavior in systems as diverse as earthquakes, sandpiles, and even biological evolution, and have suggested SOC as a way of understanding this behavior. This book is a clear and concise introduction to the field of self-organized criticality and contains an overview of the main research results.

This book deserves 5 stars because it gives crystal-clear, precise, brutally honest and unbiased coverage of what "Self-Organized Criticality" is and what it is not. Don't waste your time reading Bak's book, read this one instead.
