If they have been exposed to diff eq at all I can recommend Strogatz Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos. It's a very interesting subject, and the text is one of the most approachable I've come across for any subject.

Chaos by James Gleick is also a good intro to some chaos maths and a great bio read, with the stories of Feigenbaum wrestling with the new ideas.
