"The authors show how a range of flows in very different settings - micro to macro, fluids to solids - possess the characteristic of streamline crossing, a central kinematic feature of 'good mixing'. This notion can be placed on firm mathematical footing via Linked Twist Maps (LTMs), which is the central organizing principle of this book."--Jacket.
