A relatively quantum leap for a single volume, some might say. Over 50 papers from a workshop in Cortina D'Ampezzo, Italy in July and August of 1993, explore how chaos theory and principles have altered the study and understanding of celestial mechanics, particularly by revealing how the accuracy of predictions decay to nonsense at some point far this side of infinity. They cover planetary theory; the dynamics of asteroids, comets, meteors, and natural and artificial satellites; the three-body problem; and other selected topics in dynamics, including their representation and classification of dynamical systems, chaotic scattering in the Gaussian potential, and quaternionic generalizations of the Mendelbrot set.
