From the reviews:
“This book contains a great deal of some central topics and actual problems of cellular automata theory. It is an introduction which emphasizes the mathematically interesting and beauty aspects of cellular automata and complex dynamical systems as well as their synthesis on an ambitious level suitable for graduate students and researchers. ... To understand the complex computational world, the authors stress that cellular automata are an excellent instructional tool.” (Hasan Akin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1237, 2012)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
