review text: The authors explore classical and quantal dynamics of the elliptical stadium billiards in the full two-parameter space, analyzing two distinct groups of these billiards, separated from each other by the set of Bunimovich billiards. The existence and stability of some selected orbits are investigated by means of the Poincaré plots and orbit diagrams. Properties of the elliptic islands, their evolution and the bifurcations induced by the variation of the shape parameters are presented. The extention of the chaotic region of the phase space is numerically estimated by means of the box-counting method. Moreover, the authors consider the quantum-mechanical version of the elliptical stadium billiards, present selected results for the level spacing statistics, and compare them with the classical results for the chaotic fraction of the phase space.
