Dynamics in One Complex Variable

Reader's review:
This is a wonderful book by a master of the subject. It is packed with penetrating insights, illuminating some of the deepest results on dynamics. Its great
strength is the bird's-eye view it gives. It is a great place to start the study of complex dynamics. It is not self-contained, so to get the detail on essential
ingredients such as uniformization and solving the Beltrami equation one has to go elsewhere. I recommend students to read it alongside Carleson and Gamelin, who take pains to supply full details.
