Overview: This book collects together recent results on large-scalestructures in non-linear science. Coherent states,convective and turbulent patterns, inverse cascades,interfaces and cooperative phenomena in fluids andplasmasare discussed, together with the implementation of conceptsofstatistical mechanics to particle physics and nuclearmatter. Special attention is devoted to phenomena, such asmixing, which display macroscopicfeatures, even thoughgenerated by small-scale dynamical processes. Inthiscontext, homoclinic structure, the KAM theorem, Lyapunovstability,and singularities are addresse
