Len Pismen is Emeritus Professor of Fluid Mechanics at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. He has worked in various areas of applied physics and published over 200 papers. His earlier books include Vortices in Nonlinear Fields (1999), Patterns and Interfaces in Dissipative Dynamics (first edition, 2006), a textbook Working with Dynamical Systems (2021) and general audience books The Swings of Science (2018), Morphogenesis Deconstructed (2020), and Active Matter within and around us (2021). The latter two books appear in Springer's Frontiers Collection.

• Introduction.- Genesis of Patterns.- Fronts between Uniform States.- Structures with Sharp Interfaces.- Irregular Stationary Patterns.- Irregular Wave Patterns.- Patterns of Active Matter.
