Since the ESO method was first introduced by Xie and Steven in 1992 and the publication of their well-known book \u003ci\u003eEvolutionary Structural Optimization\u003c\/i\u003e in 1997, there have been significant improvements in the techniques as well as important practical applications. The authors present these developments, illustrated by numerous interesting and detailed examples. They clearly demonstrate that the evolutionary structural optimization method is an effective approach capable of solving a wide range of topology optimization problems, including structures with geometrical and material nonlinearities, energy absorbing devices, periodical structures, bridges and buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents latest developments and applications in this increasingly popular \u0026amp; maturing optimization approach for engineers and architects;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAuthored by leading researchers in the field who have been working in the area of ESO and BESO developments since their conception;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes a number of test problems for students as well as a chapter of case studies that includes several recent practical projects in which the authors have been involved;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAccompanied by a website housing ESO\/BESO computer programs at \u003cb\u003ewww.wileyeurope.com\u003c\/b\u003e and test examples, as well as a chapter within the book giving a description and step-by-step instruction on how to use the software package BESO2D.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvolutionary Topology Optimization of Continuum Structures\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to researchers and graduate students working in structural design and optimization, and will also be of interest to civil and structural engineers, architects and mechanical engineers involved in creating innovative and efficient structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYi Min (Mike) Xie\u003c\/strong\u003e, RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia.\u003cbr\u003eYi Min (Mike) Xie is Professor and Discipline Head, Civil and Environmental Engineering within the School of Civil, Environmental and Chemical Engineering at RMIT University.
