Two ergodic theory workshops were held at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The events gave new researchers an introduction to active research areas and promoted interaction between young and established mathematicians. Included are research and survey articles devoted to various topics in ergodic theory. The book is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in these and related areas.
