Die vierte Auflage dieser vielfach praxisbewährten Monografie zur Chaosforschung wurde überarbeitet, deutlich erweitert und durch farbige Illustrationen optisch noch ansprechender gestaltet. Nach wie vor legen die Autoren Wert auf eine ausführliche Darstellung der mathematischen Grundlagen. Neu aufgenommen wurden Kapitel zu modernen Entwicklungen, etwa zur Chaossteuerung und zur Synchronisierung biologischer Systeme.

- 'This text sets a standard which other authors and publishers in physics should strive to meet.' Physics Bulletin
- This is the revised and updated 3rd edition of this highly regarded textbook. A new chapter on controlling chaos has been added. Translations into Japanese, Chinese, German, Russian and Polish demonstrate the international interest in this book. From reviews of former editions:
- In this book, Schuster gives a very useful summary of the main ideas of the subject as it now stands. Although a physist by training and style, he organizes his treatment by the logic of the mathematics, which is based on the concept of a dynamical system.
- Students about to begin research into chaos, and practising scientists new to the subject, will find this book well worth reading. Nature

- 'Der lockere und ansprechende Stil, die gelungene Mischung von einführender Darstellung und reviewhafter Zusammenstellung, die reiche, anregende, treffende Illustration: all das hat zahlreiche Leser nicht nur mit dem Intellekt angesprochen, sondern auch etwas von der Faszination zu vermitteln vermocht, die von diesem... Gebiet ausgeht. Auf die immer öfter... gestellte Frage nach einer zusammenfassenden, leicht lesbaren Einführung ins 'Chaos' empfiehlt man immer wieder gerne 'den Schuster'. Physikalische Blätter
