a beautiful "math/physics" book
This is one of my favorite books. Chock full of enlightening artwork, page after page of colorful drawings, graphs, representations of springs, sound, heat, and other non-linear, real-world phenomena explained and illustrated for intuitive ease. Even if you're not a scientist, or a mathematics fan - this book will open your eyes to concepts that scientists deal with, and that deeply inspire artists and musicians alike.

It's a little like learning chess, and realizing that almost everything is like chess.
Everything is dynamics!

Dynamics in pictures
This is a great book to have as a suppliment to any of the classical dynamical systems books. The book starts with phase diagrams for periodic behaviour then moves on to explain the dynamics of chaotic and bifurcation behaviours entirely in pictures. This book will suppliment traditional nonlinear dynamics courses at advanced undergraduate level.

This book is great
It is hard to describe this book without sounding like a bookseller.It is explains the most complex concepts in very simple and elegant "cartoons", so it has the additional advantage of being fun to read.I read the whole thing just a couple of months.

WOW
Some concepts, seemingly obscure and esoteric became intuitively obvious with this book. A great ``picture book'' that will certainly complement any standard textbook in chaotic dynamics. I may sound like a bookseller. But, hey, this book is good! ... Read more
