Numerous books on Dynamical Astronomy exist, focusing on Celestial Mechanics, Stellar Dynamics, and Galactic Dynamics. Early works on stellar dynamics primarily addressed the statistics of stellar motions, such as Smart's "Stellar Dynamics" (1938) and Trumpler and Weaver's "Statistical Astronomy" (1953). Chandrasekhar's "Principles of Stellar Dynamics" (1942) is a significant contribution, emphasizing relaxation times, Liouville's equation, and cluster dynamics. The 1960 Dover edition included a modern Appendix on the statistical mechanics of stellar systems. For classroom use, Mihalas and Routly's "Galactic Astronomy" (1969) served as a key resource. The most comprehensive work in the field is Binney and Tremaine's "Galactic Dynamics" (1987), which covers classical stellar dynamics and contemporary topics. Another notable reference is Hagihara's extensive 4-volume treatise "Celestial Mechanics" (1970-1975). Recently, advancements in the theory of chaos have emerged as a vital area of interest, significantly impacting stellar and galactic dynamics. The exploration of order and chaos has introduced a new dimension to the study of dynamics.
