Reviews
--NATURE
"This short, somewhat conversational book is illuminating on a variety of topics, such as attractors, nonlinear population equations,
logistic maps, fractal dimensions, and Mandelbrot sets. It is written in an engaging manner at a level suitable for undergraduates, and
the references are well chosen and fairly up to date....Cambels book will be a rewarding experience."
--CHOICE (added 9/20/93 LMW)
"[This] work fills an important niche between books on the application of mathematical techniques and books on hardware....It should be
viewed by most undergraduate institutions as an important reference."
--NEW TECHNICAL BOOKS [12/92]
"Chaos theory, at the heart of the new sciences of complexity, is surveyed in this readable and entertaining survey for the nonspecialist.
Will be of interest to public and school libraries, and as a supplemental text in introductory college level courses. Includes a list
of discussions."
--LAURIE HODGES, Ph.D., Atlanta, Georgia
"The topic of your book is complex and prickly; I admire you for undertaking its explanation."
--PROFESSOR A.K. OPPENHEIM, Berkeley, California
"Your scholarly point of view, the meticulous method of approach, authoritative exposition of the subject matter and, concomitantly, its
straightforward treatment, provide your book with a potential to become an object of high demand. It will certainly be high on my list
of recommended texts."
--FRANK W. SUMMERS, M.D., Santa Ana, California
"Of all the many current books on Chaos Theory, this one explains the underlying why and how of chaos. From money to medicine, it covers
chaos theory applied to living and science. The scientific layman, beginning student, and advanced theorist will all profit from the
clear explanations. If your knowledge of Chaos Theory is chaotic, this is the book to read."
