Long-range interacting systems: lecture notes of the les houches summer school: volume 90, august 2008

This book collects lectures and seminars given at the Les Houches Summer School 2008 on Long-Range Interacting Systems. It reviews state-of-the-art developments in this field, looking at problems of probability, transport theory, statistical mechanics, condensed matter physics, astrophysics and cosmology, physics of plasmas, and hydrodynamics.
