Nonlinear Dynamics in Physiology 
A State-Space Approach
by Mark Shelhamer
"Most chapters discuss early apparent success in detecting signs of low-dimensional nonlinear dynamics, but follow up with more careful studies which throw doubt on earlier findings."

Nonlinear and Parametric Phenomena
Theory and Applications in Radiophysical and Mechanical Systems
by Vladimir Damgov
"This book ends with a 'Conclusion' section in which the author gives an excellent, concise summary of the results and issues examined in the volume and lists 'a number of new research problems that can be subject to further scientific and research work' ... I do recommend it for purchase by research libraries, where it will provide a useful reference for those already well versed in the basic elements of nonlinear dynamic systems and those who require a good summary of important recent results in these areas."

Instabilities, Chaos and Turbulence 
An Introduction to Nonlinear Dynamics and Complex Systems
by Paul Manneville
"This book is an excellent addition to the literature on how dynamics may be used to understand and model more complex phenomena such as fluid flow, or pattern formation, written by a leading expert in the field who has contributed to a lot of the original results. It is an ideal choice for scientists, engineers or mathematicians who wish to have a good introduction to the field before moving to the specialized literature either on the physics side or the mathematics and modeling side, and it may serve as a good textbook for related courses."

Images of a Complex World
The Art and Poetry of Chaos
(With CD-ROM)
by Robin Chapman & Julien Clinton Sprott
"Images of a Complex World showcases Chapman's considerable skills as a poet and Sprott's polished ability as a pedagogue ... The illustrations offer subtle but effective conjunctions between art and science, reiterating the beauty of physics and the rigor of prosody ... This book stands as a wonderful reminder of the joy we all get from our own discipline and from its conjunction with others. Though Chapman and Sprott make modest claims for their work, it is truly a stunning achievement."
