This book is the first monograph devoted exclusively to strange nonchaotic attractors (SNA), recently discovered objects with a special kind of dynamical behavior between order and chaos in dissipative nonlinear systems under quasiperiodic driving. A historical review of the discovery and study of SNA, mathematical and physically-motivated examples, and a review of known experimental studies of SNA are presented. The main focus is on the theoretical analysis of strange nonchaotic behavior by means of different tools of nonlinear dynamics and statistical physics (bifurcation analysis, Lyapunov...

The 15th issue of bilingual architectural magazine Speech: is devoted to the striking experiments of sports-related architecture. Featuring stadiums, athletics complexes, water sports centers and more, this issue discusses how design and form can reflect the values of sports in society.
