"This book is recommended for a first approach to chaos: the exposition is very clear and all notions are introduced relying on intuition and explained through examples and applications. 32 call-out boxes, interspersed throughout the main text, provide basic concepts and further details, which make the book accessible to virtually everyone."

"This research monograph will be useful to mathematicians working on dynamical systems and differential equations with discontinuities, and to researchers working on nonlinear mechanics."

"This book contains many examples especially from mechanics. It can be suggested for interdisciplinary researchers working in the field of mechanics, nonlinear dynamics, dynamical systems and their applications."

"In sum, this book presents an interesting overview of an alternative, and possibly unifying, geometric framework for the study of general systems of ordinary differential equations. Researchers with a background in dynamical systems theory and an interest in a slightly unorthodox approach to the subject will find it a rewarding read."

"This book is intended for scientists and engineers interested in predicting the chaotic behaviour of their models of interest, as well as for graduate students attending courses in applied dynamical systems."

"This is a very interesting book with many nice examples of controlling chaos by means of analytical as well as numerical methods. It is well written, so it is suitable for and recommended to anyone who is interested in chaos and its control in nonlinear dynamical systems."

"As a contribution to popular science this book is welcome. Tsonis explains randomness as it enters into mathematics, science and everyday life."

"It will be very useful for anyone working in the general field of nonlinear dynamics, chaos and complex systems. A fascinating insight into the state-of-the-art technology of chaos control, key concepts and techniques provides the attractiveness of the study and brings new results and ideas both to students and advanced researchers."
