From the reviews:

The book under review provides a wide overview on the so-called soliton equations & . the book contains many topics that experts will find interesting, it is well organized and is an excellent research monograph on soliton equations. & it is accessible to a wide range of readers, from the experts in the field, to researchers who are interested in nonlinear evolution equations and PhD students who would like to learn more about this field. (A. Yoshioka, Il Nuovo Saggiatore, Vol. 29 (5-6), 2013)

Will be of great use to anybody who is interested in the AKNS method & . The bibliographic remarks given at the end of each section are quite useful if one wants to be oriented in the existing trends of the theory. & succeeded in bringing together different approaches while keeping the main focus on Recursion Operators. & It should be mentioned that the book is written in a reader-friendly way & . recommended to PhD students who want to learn more about the subject. (Giuseppe Marmo, Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society, Vol. 44, 2012)

This is a book on integrable partial differential equations. & scope of this book is large. It is ls
