This chapter gives an introduction to the book and an overview of fundamental concepts, notions and mathematical descriptions of fitness landscapes. Based on a brief discussion of the origin of landscape paradigms, major motivations to use fitness landscapes are presented. It is further considered how topological features of the landscape give raise to evolutionary dynamics. Also, examples of computational and empirical landscapes are introduced.
