``This paper introduces a new global dynamics and chaos indicator based on the method of Lagrangian Descriptor apt for discriminating ordered and deterministic chaotic motions in multidimensional systems. In this context it is remarkable that an implementation of the method requires only the knowledge of orbits over finite time intervals and not of the associated variational equations (linearizations). The paper is richly illustrated and offers visualizations of many dynamical behaviors. Highlighted are chaotic regions for some classical systems. As benchmark examples serve discrete and continuous nearly-integrable dynamical systems having resonances as prominent features. They include the Chirikov standard map, higher dimensional symplectic and volume-preserving maps, fundamental models of resonances, and a three-dimensional nearly-integrable Hamiltonian system with a dense web of resonances. According to the authors, the suggested indicator ``appears to be relevant for understanding phase space transport mediated by resonances in nearly-integrable system, as ubiquitous in celestial mechanics or astrodynamics.
