Various well established and informative FAQ's exist about the net in relation to the majority of subject areas covered in the following selection of book reviews. Many of these have been created for the explicit purpose of providing background information for the relevant usenet discussion groups, and the lists of Frequently Asked Questions - with their concise and (usually) well researched answers, are generally of great worth in the student's attempt at obtaining a handle on the subject matter.

• sci.nonlinear FAQ - currently maintained by Jim Meiss.
• sci.fractals FAQ - currently maintained by Michael C. Taylor.
• Self-Organising Systems FAQ - currently maintained by Chris Lucas.

Alternatively, should you come across some other petinent quotations in any of the following publications which you feel should also be included in these reviews, then do not hesitate to send the material to me by E-Mail. General comments and pointers to further correspondent resources on the net are also welcomed.

May your footsteps take you to the Journey's End,
And may the Age of Information dawn within.

All the best,
