"The author gives a thorough insight into topological and ergodic properties of invariant subsets and their structure, classifies the main concepts which are used in the book and describes their characteristics. In addition, some new important concepts which, for the most part, have been previously known only from articles are presented...    The manner of exposition ... Read moreis in the tradition of mathematics: rigorous description of the concepts and notions of attractors in dynamics, and detailed proofs of main results. At the same time, the material is presented at an acceptable level for the wide circle of researchers and post-graduate students who apply ideas of dynamical systems. Moreover, because the book is self-contained, readers can use it as a fine introduction to the modern theory of attractors and related topics.    The book is clearly written, and it has many references (about 120 entries); in addition, some results are supported by helpful examples (and even sometimes counterexamples). Moreover, at the end of each chapter the readers can find very useful general comments and historical remarks."
