• Abraham and Shaw, Dynamics: The Geometry of Behavior (an entirely visual approach to teaching dynamics; all the equations live in a ghetto-appendix, if you really want to see them. Abraham, sad to say, seems to have flipped his lid, and published a book called Chaos Gaia Eros, tracing chaos theory back through ``25,000 years of Orphic tradition'' on the basis of cranks of the sort satirized by Umberto Eco, to say nothing of revelations in the Himalayas. Remember, children, drugs are your friends: always treat them with respect, and they make life better; abuse them, and they will let you make an ass of yourself in public.)
