The humanitarian crises in the Middle East and North Africa continue to affect a staggering number of people. More than 71 million vulnerable people, including over 35 million children, are in need of assistance.1 The conflicts in the Syrian Arab Republic and Yemen, volatility in Libya and upsurges of violence in the State of Palestine are exposing children to extreme risks, including death, injury and displacement,2 as well as forced recruitment into armed groups and early marriage. In Yemen, where the response is challenged by the collapsing health system, millions are facing acute food insecurity, the country is confronting one of the largest cholera outbreaks on record, and nearly half a million children are at risk of severe acute malnutrition. In the Syrian Arab Republic, years of conflict have left more than 2 million children out of school3 and 3.3 million children4 exposed to explosive hazards. In Iraq, nearly 1 million children remain displaced, mainly in Ninewa, Dahuk, Erbil, Kirkuk, Salah al Din, Sulaymaniyah and Baghdad.5 Against the backdrop of ongoing violence, the region is also confronting natural disasters and infectious disease outbreaks, including in Djibouti and the Sudan. In 2018, Djibouti was affected by both drought and a cyclone.

Self-organization is one of the most important and most general features of nature, being practically omnipresent in our world, viz., in physical and inorganic systems, in organic and living systems, and even in social systems. Already 200 years ago, self-organization phenomena have been observed in electrochemical experiments and much later a vast number of carefully designed electrochemical experiments have been described where self-organization plays a role. Electrochemistry lends itself for such studies in a very special way, as it allows easy control and measurement of the electrode potential and current. Therefore, it is no surprise that the quantitative data of electrochemical experiments have given a very sound basis for mathematical modelling of self-organization. Professor Dr. Marek Orlik is an experienced electrochemist who now specializes in the physical chemistry of self-organization. His profound knowledge of mathematics, physics, and chemistry, together with his clear-cut thinking and his experimental abilities, enables him to present the theoretical background and the experimental details of self-organization in electrochemistry in a very lucid and appealing way. Professor Orlik is a disciple of the Warsaw electrochemical school. He did his PhD with Zbigniew Galus, and worked as postdoc with Gerhard Gritzner (Linz), and he was an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow with Karl Doblhofer and Gerhard Ertl in Berlin. The publishing house Springer and the editor of the series Monographs in Electrochemistry regard it as a big fortune that Marek Orlik accepted the invitation to write this monograph because it is the first comprehensive description of that topic, and it is clearly a very seriously needed monograph. When starting to write this monograph, the author quickly realized that the topic cannot be adequately covered in one volume because the mathematical and physical background needs careful and extended explanations. We are thankful to Springer for agreeing to publish this monograph in two volumes, allowing the author to present both the theoretical and the experimental side in detail. Writing such 2-volume monograph is a task which absorbs all energy for several years, and it is not only an intellectual achievement, but also physically very demanding, especially when considering that
自组织是自然界最重要、最普遍的特征之一，在我们的世界中几乎无处不在，即在物理和无机系统中，在有机和生命系统中，甚至在社会系统中。早在200年前，就已经在电化学实验中观察到了自组织现象，并且在很久以后，已经描述了大量精心设计的电化学实验，其中自组织发挥了作用。电化学以一种非常特殊的方式适用于此类研究，因为它可以很容易地控制和测量电极电势和电流。因此，毫不奇怪，电化学实验的定量数据为自组织的数学建模提供了非常可靠的基础。Marek Orlik教授是一位经验丰富的电化学专家，现在专门研究自组织的物理化学。他对数学、物理和化学的渊博知识，加上清晰的思维和实验能力，使他能够以一种非常清晰和吸引人的方式呈现电化学自组织的理论背景和实验细节。奥利克教授是华沙电化学学院的弟子。他在Zbigniew Galus攻读博士学位，在Gerhard Gritzner（林茨）担任博士后，在柏林与Karl Doblhofer和Gerhard Ertl一起担任Alexander von Humboldt研究员。施普林格出版社和《电化学专著》系列的编辑认为，Marek Orlik接受了撰写这本专著的邀请是一笔巨大的财富，因为这是对该主题的第一次全面描述，显然是一本非常需要的专著。在开始写这本专著时，作者很快意识到，由于数学和物理背景需要仔细而深入的解释，这个主题不可能在一本书中充分涵盖。我们感谢施普林格同意分两卷出版这本专著，使作者能够详细介绍理论和实验方面。写这样两卷本的专著是一项耗费数年精力的任务，这不仅是一项智力上的成就，而且对体力的要求也很高，尤其是考虑到
