Classical approaches based on Boltzmann's kinetic equation, as well as on its moment-equation descendants the Euler and Navier-Stokes fluid equations, are inadequate for treating the maintenance and long-term evolution of systems containing self-organized structures such as galactic density-wave modes. A global and synthetic approach, incorporating correlated fluctuations of the constituent particles during a nonequilibrium phase transition, is adopted to supplement the continuum treatment. The cutting-edge research combining analytical, N-body simulational, and observational aspects, as well as the fundamental-physics connections it provides, make this work a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students in astronomy, astrophysics, cosmology, many-body physics, complexity theory, and other related fields.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDynamical Drivers of Galaxy Evolution\u003cbr\u003eN-Body Simulations of Galaxy Evolution\u003cbr\u003eAstrophysical Implications of the Dynamical Theory\u003cbr\u003ePutting It All Together\u003cbr\u003eConcluding Remarks\u003cbr\u003eAppendix: Relation to Kinetics and Fluid Mechanics \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Xiaolei Zhang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110525194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110525199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/04\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.81d","brand":"Xiaolei Zhang","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446084382975,"sku":"9783110525199","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ed79a1e-4431-4311-8704-df632e0a9202.jpg?v=1777222510","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dynamical-evolution-of-galaxies-xiaolei-zhang-9783110525199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
