'The Nature of Chaos, edited by Tom Mullin, is a wonderfully readable survey of the field by half a dozen of its leading researchers.' Tania Montero, Royal Holloway College, New Scientist, September 1993 'It is a pleasure ... to read a book which picks out the relevance of chaos and nonlinear dynamics to a range of applied fields in a careful and even understated manner ... has a strong practical flavour that provides an informative and readable introduction to the concepts of dynamical systems theory and bifurcation theory ... Despite being the product of several authors, the book is remarkably coherent. The editor has taken considerable trouble to avoid repetition and to represent the spread of interests.' David Broomhead, Physics World, February 1994
