Review

'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

' ... an excellent introduction to several areas which are of interest both from the point of view of the mathematical scholar and from that of the research mathematician.' American Scientist

Book Description

The study of dynamical systems forms a vast and rapidly developing field, This book introduces the four aspects of ergodic theory ñ examples, convergence theorems, recurrence properties and entropy. These receive first a basic, then a more advanced treatment, with the discussion of several advanced topics that are currently undergoing research.
