• Preface; 1. Introduction and preliminaries; 2. The fundamentals of ergodic theory; 3. More about almost everywhere convergence; 4. More about recurrence; 5. Entropy; 6. More about entropy; References; Index.

'What the contents list does not prepare you for is the very high standard of exposition. The scholarship involved in this work will be appreciated by workers in the field and by generations of research students. I personally think this is an excellent book. It is a book which can be explored at leisure and has a place in the library of anyone with a more than passing interest in ergodic theory.' Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society
