description THIS BOOK is the outgrowth of a series of instructional lectures given by the author in England in the spring of 1963. It is consequently more devoted to elucidating current developments in ergodic theory and information theory and their interrelations than presenting the most complete and general versions of the theorems involved. This is not to say that the book is mathematically sloppy, which it certainly is not, nor, unfortunately, that it will be easy going for non-mathematicians. The wide range of mathematical tools involved and the inherent difficulty of some of the proofs make a certain degree of mathematical maturity necessary for an understanding of the text.
