Chance and Chaos
How do scientists look at chance, or randomness, and chaos in physical systems? In answering this question for a general audience, Ruelle writes in the best French tradition: he has produced an authoritative and elegant book--a model of clarity, succinctness, and a humor bordering at times on the sardonic.

At Home in Rome: A Blogger's-Eye View of the Eternal City
For anyone who has ever been to Rome, lived in Rome, or just dreamed about Rome...Shelley Ruelle, a blogger living in Rome since 2001, spends a year capturing the spirit of the Eternal City by exploring its cuisine, chatting with its people, and revealing hidden treasures and curiosities that many tourists never get the chance to see. Part guide book, part personal memoir, and part journalistic investigation, At Home in Rome takes you behind the scenes in one of the most beautiful and intriguing cities in the world.

Chaotic Evolution and Strange Attractors
This book, based on lectures given at the Accademia dei Lincei, is an accessible and leisurely account of systems that display a chaotic time evolution. This behaviour, though deterministic, has features more characteristic of stochastic systems. The analysis here is based on a statistical technique known as time series analysis and so avoids complex mathematics, yet provides a good understanding of the fundamentals. Professor Ruelle is one of the world's authorities on chaos and dynamical systems and his account here will be welcomed by scientists in physics, engineering, biology, chemistry and economics who encounter nonlinear systems in their research.

Zufall und Chaos
"Das Buch des Mathematikers und Physikers David Ruelle ist amüsant und lehrreich. Amüsant, weil es aus der seltsamen Welt der Mathematiker berichtet, und lehrreich, weil es die Grundideen schwieriger Theorien einfach darstellt... Ich habe das erfreulich kurze Buch mit großem Vergnügen gelesen und empfehle es jedem, der Spaß an spielerisch vorgetragenen genauen Überlegungen hat..."#Prof. Dr. Henning Genz, Spektrum der Wissenschaft 7/93#

Thermodynamic Formalism
Reissued in the Cambridge Mathematical Library this classic book outlines the theory of thermodynamic formalism which was developed to describe the properties of certain physical systems consisting of a large number of subunits. It is aimed at mathematicians interested in ergodic theory, topological dynamics, constructive quantum field theory, the study of certain differentiable dynamical systems, notably Anosov diffeomorphisms and flows. It is also of interest to theoretical physicists concerned with the conceptual basis of equilibrium statistical mechanics. The level of the presentation is generally advanced, the objective being to provide an efficient research tool and a text for use in graduate teaching. Background material on mathematics has been collected in appendices to help the reader. Extra material is given in the form of updates of problems that were open at the original time of writing and as a new preface specially written for this new edition by the author.
