“The author discusses basic issues in the emergent chaos theory that, in a few decades, had enormous impact in science and philosophy. The book is a smooth introduction to the basic concepts of chaos theory … . This book is a valuable contribution to the discussions about the philosophy of chaos theory.” (Ubiratan D'Ambrosio, zbMATH 1387.00016, 2018)“I did find the book interesting to read. In particular, I found it interesting that mathematical modeling and numerical approximation play an important role in the author's philosophical considerations of chaos theory. … I still find the book to be largely readable and the writing to be clear and accessible.” (Jason M. Graham, Mathematical Reviews, March, 2019)
