A replacement for Mcauley's Classical mechanics

[andresB]

Mcauley's "Classical mechanics: transformations, flows, integrable and chaotic dynamics" has a very interesting table of contents, and it has a philosophy of approaching Hamiltonian flows and chaos without using the formalism of modern differential geometry.
Unfortunately, after reading the first three chapters, I think that the book is confusing and badly written, and the ideas are not well organized. So, is there any other book at the same level, with the same approach, but better written?

I am unfamiliar with your book.
Introduction to Dynamics by Percival and Richards
appears to be at a slightly lower level, but on the other hand it is a good book.
