From the reviews:
"The first volume is devoted to ergodic theory and dynamical systems. It contains 19 papers divided into four groups ... . The reader will find a wealth of information and ideas that can still ignite inspiration and motivate students as well as senior researchers. The reader will also have a touch of Sinai's personality, his taste, enthusiasm, and optimism, which are just as invaluable as his mathematical results." (Nikolai Chernov, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 e)
