This book systematically interprets and documents new, unifying
principles and basic laws describing the most relevant aspects of
hierarchy. To do so, it discusses recent experiments and models
that are simple and realistic enough to reproduce the observations,
and develops concepts for a better understanding of the complexity
of systems consisting of many organisms. The book covers systems
ranging from flocks of birds to groups of people. Although it
focuses on hierarchical collective behavior in general, two aspects
pop up in the majority of cases: collective motion and dynamically
changing, partially directed networks (and the natural relation
between the two). In addition, it offers a brief description of the
most relevant definitions and concepts involved in the context of
hierarchies, presenting both a review of the current literature and
a number of new experimental and computational results in more
detail. It is a valuable resource for students and scholars
pursuing research on the structure of interactions within the
collectives of animals and humans.
