Attitude dynamics is the theoretical basis of attitude control of spacecrafts in aerospace engineering. With the development of nonlinear dynamics, chaos in spacecraft attitude dynamics has drawn great attention since the 1990's. The problem of the predictability and controllability of the chaotic attitude motion of a spacecraft has a practical significance in astronautic science. This book aims to summarize basic concepts, main approaches, and recent progress in this area. It focuses on the research work of the author and other Chinese scientists in this field, providing new methods and viewpoints in the investigation of spacecraft attitude motion, as well as new mathematical models, with definite engineering backgrounds, for further analysis. Professor Yanzhu Liu was the Director of the Institute of Engineering Mechanics, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China. Dr. Liqun Chen is a Professor at the Department of Mechanics, Shanghai University, China.

Cha' os n. extreme confusion or disorder - cha'ot'ic Uncontrolled Chaos is around us everyday. I can begin with 9/11 really before that, it has continued until this present day. Just last week as a marathon was being ran in Boston bombs were set killing innocent by standers as they cheered the runners crossing the finish line, in the mist of the devastation was a young child and others who's family’s and their lives would change forever. This indeed makes no sense, the countless lives that were destroyed because two brothers decided that their names would go down in history. Children of New town afraid to go to school not knowing if a crazed gunmen would come in and shoot everything and anything that moves, watching their school mates and teachers die right before their eyes wondering if they might be next, what uncontrolled chaos would make a person snap and take this precious gift of life. Wars and rumors of wars weapons of mass destruction lives hanging in the balance because one country doesn’t understand the other or is it just greed? Someone always wanting what the other one has, we could go on and on but who really has the correct answer of what causes things to happen and way all the Chaos. Chaos describes the pages of my life from drug dealer to casual user to drug addict to born again christian these areas I thought I had control of but there is no control of a chaotic life style even accepting Christ as my Lord and savior I have no control.

Jaime Pineda shows how the dynamics of anxiety and incessant rumination reflect uncontrolled creativity, and how using simple, time-tested techniques we can learn to control the chaos and recover our creative nature.

Kaylin Neya is a Hawk, part of the elite force tasked with keeping the City of Elantra safe. Her past is dark, her magic uncontrolled and her allies unpredictable. And nothing has prepared her for what is coming, when the charlatans on Elani Street suddenly grow powerful, the Oracles are thrown into an uproar and the skies rain blood…. The powerful of Elantra believe that the mysterious markings on Kaylin's skin hold the answer, and they are not averse to using her—how ever they have to—in order to discover what it is. Something is coming, breaking through the barriers between the worlds. But is it a threat that Kaylin needs to defend her city against—or has she been chosen for another reason entirely?

This is the first of two volumes of essays in commemoration of Alan Turing, whose pioneering work in the theory of artificial intelligence and computer science continues to be widely discussed today. A distinguished international cast of contributors focus on the three seminal ideas associated with his name: the Turing test, the Turing machine, and the Church-Turing thesis.
