Breadth of scope is unique
Author is a widely-known and successful textbook author
Unlike many recent textbooks on chaotic systems that have superficial treatment, this book provides explanations of the deep underlying mathematical ideas
No technical proofs, but an introduction to the whole field that is based on the specific analysis of carefully selected examples
Includes a section on cellular automata
