No publication date has been set.

The field of dynamics in one complex variable has received a lot of attention over the last 30 years. The object of this book is to make the results of this research accessible to a broader audience. Many of these topics are already covered in existing books, but many others are presented here for the first time in book form. Among these are the Ecalle-Voronin classification of parabolic points, the Yoccoz linearization theorem and the sharpness of the result, puzzle techniques, and Thurston's applications of Teichmuller theory.
