Introductory books to Hamiltonian chaos

In summary, the conversation discussed finding resources for studying Hamiltonian chaos and KAM theory that are comprehensive yet not too advanced. There was also a mention of wanting a reference that discusses the limitations of canonical perturbation theories. One suggestion was to read Ott's book on Chaos in Dynamical Systems, which includes a chapter on the topic. Additionally, there was a mention of reading Sardar's book, "Chaos and Complexity: New Perspectives on Organization Theory."

I'm looking for books (or any other reference) to start studying the emergence of Hamiltonian chaos and KAM theory. You know, something that doesn't require a Ph.D in math to understand but is comprehensive enough to give a good understanding of the topic. Added bonus if it has a discussion on the limitations of canonical perturbation theories.
