This valuable account of chemical chaos, now available in paperback,reviews both theory and experiment, emphasizing the simple features that combineto produce 'order within disorder'. The author begins by revealing the linksbetween chemical kinetics and the interdisciplinary subject of dynamicalsystems. Various bifurcation sequences are then introduced throughrepresentative model schemes, with the emphasis on generality and simplicity.Chaos arises in both conventional chemical reactions and forced or couplessystems, and both are considered here. Various experimental and diagnostictechniques to test for chaos are then described, and the remaining chaptersreview experimental studies in a wide range of chemical and biochemicalsystems.
