This chapter provides an overview of the contents and structure of the book "Equilibrium States and the Ergodic Theory of Anosov Diffeomorphisms" by Prof. Rufus Bowen. The book, part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics series, is edited by A. Dold and B. Eckmann and published by Springer-Verlag in 1975. It covers topics such as differentiable dynamical systems, ergodic theory, and diffeomorphisms. The content is divided into several sections, including an introduction, Gibbs measures, general thermodynamic formalism, axiom A diffeomorphisms, and the ergodic theory of these diffeomorphisms. The book also includes a bibliography and an index. The work is copyrighted by Springer-Verlag Berlin, Heidelberg, and New York, and the author, Prof. Rufus Bowen, is affiliated with the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.This chapter provides an overview of the contents and structure of the book "Equilibrium States and the Ergodic Theory of Anosov Diffeomorphisms" by Prof. Rufus Bowen.
