Book excerpt: Presenting papers by researchers in transcendental dynamics and complex analysis, this exciting new and modern book is written in honor of Noel Baker, who laid the foundations of transcendental complex dynamics. The papers describe the state of the art in this subject, with new results on completely invariant domains, wandering domains, the exponential parameter space, and normal families. The inclusion of comprehensive survey articles on dimensions of Julia sets, buried components of Julia sets, Baker domains, Fatou components of functions of small growth, and ergodic theory of transcendental meromorphic functions means this is essential reading for students and researchers in complex dynamics and complex analysis.
