Reviews
Kautz's [Chaos] functions at the level of Ruelle's [Chance and Chaos] but is more focused and compete. It brings a thorough and fresh approach to the task. The writing is lucid and very engaging ... and the illustrations are uniformly excellent. * James Blackburn, American Journal of Physics *
The book is a famous introduction into the wide field of chaos and provides a very good basis for further studies. It is very useful for many persons: students in engineering, natural sciences, and mathematics or people interested in a better understanding of the nature of chaos. It is highly recommended. * ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics *
