• Introduction; 1. Differential equations, maps and asymptotic behaviour; 2. Transition from order to chaos; 3. Numerical methods for studies of parametric dependences, bifurcations and chaos; 4. Chaotic dynamics in experiments; 5. Forced and coupled chemical oscillators: a case study of chaos; 6. Chaos in distributed systems; Appendices; Bibliography; Index.

"Among the rapidly growing number of books exhibiting different aspects of dynamically induced chaotic behavior, the book under review takes its own place for two reasons: First, it is mainly oriented toward applications. Second, it reflects a view and a set of results on this subject that were developed by the Prague research group studying dynamical systems and their applications." Alexander I. Khibnik, Quarterly Review of Biology
