[4] The first chapter of the book concerns the opposite situation of "pure pursuit" without evasion, including the initial work in this area by Pierre Bouguer in 1732.

[7] Chapter 2 considers targets moving to evade their pursuers, beginning with an example of circular evasive motion described in terms of a dog chasing a duck in a pond, with the dog beginning at the center and the duck moving circularly around the bank.

[8] Other variants considered in this chapter include cases where the target is hidden from view, and moving on an unknown trajectory.

[8] It is not a textbook, but could be used to provide motivating examples for courses in calculus and differential equations,[2][4] or as the basis of an undergraduate research project to a student who has completed this material.

"[8] On the other hand, Mark Colyvan, a philosopher, would have preferred to see heavier coverage of the game-theoretic aspects of the subject, and notes that the mathematical idealizations used here can lead to inaccurate conclusions for real-world problems.
