review text: This paper presents a broad and well-written account of some major features of nonlinear optics. It sketches the development - via the discovery of laser - of optics from a linear science to todays highly nonlinear research field, displaying the full and enormously rich phenomenology characterizing this area. Glimpses are given from the various areas of research in nonlinear optics, illustrating the diversity of the field, and epitomized by words like nonlinear Schrödinger equation, optical fibers, soliton propagation in optical fibers, laser, coherent pulse propagation. And all of it excellently illustrated.
