    The book offers a broad perspective of cellular automata. It covers both mathematical aspects and applications. It has breadth and depth. The book has 12 chapters and two appendices: 1. Introduction, 2. Formalism, 3. Phenomenal studies of generic CA, 4. Dynamical systems theory approach, 5. Analytic approach, 5. CA and language theory, 7. Probabilistic CA, 8. Generalized models, 9. CA models of fluid dynamics, 10. neural networks, 11. Artificial-life, 12. Is Nature, underneath it all, a CA?, Appendix A: CA Research tools, Appendix B: Complex systems theory resources. The book is recommended to any person interested in the fascinating world of cellular automata; it can be a good complement for S. Wolfram's book ``A New Kind of Science'' (2002; Zbl 1022.68084).
