Abstract
This book captures the excitement of the expert contributors working at the forefront of this new area of science, detailing the latest developments in the different fields; from physics to biology, chemistry, the weather, quantum mechanics, and engineering. The nature of chaos is an edited and updated version of a highly popular lecture series given in Oxford focussing on the applications of ideas from dynamical systems theory. The interdisciplinary nature of the text makes it accessible to the non-specialist but also includes the technical details often lacking in other books on chaos - making this a comprehensive, lively account of the field. ranging.
