From the reviews: "The book is a mostly self contained text on the theory of the fine scale structures of hyperbolic diffeomorphisms on surfaces. It is aimed at researchers and Ph. D students interested in the topic. Most of the text is based on the research work of the authors but it also contains related topics and background material. It is clearly written and very well structured." (Isabel Lugao Rios, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 e) "The main theme of the book Fine Structures of Hyperbolic Diffeomorphisms, by Pinto, Rand and Ferreira, is the rigidity and flexibility of two-dimensional diffeomorphisms on hyperbolic basic sets and properties of invariant measures that are related to the geometry of these invariant sets. ... The book under review is based on a series of articles by the authors and is aimed at experts in the field. The theorems are clearly stated and complete proofs are provided." (W. De Melo, Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society, Vol. 48 (1), January, 2011)
