The Colours of Infinity: The Beauty and Power of Fractals
The groundbreaking documentary (accompanying this book), introduced by Arthur C. Clarke, has been shown in over 50 countries around the world. Twenty five years ago it brought the subject of fractals to the attention of the general public for the first time. The contributors to the film are joined in this comprehensive survey of fractal theory and practice by some other leading experts in the field.
Well written and accessible to undergraduates or anybody who would like to obtain a quick but well-rounded introduction to fractal analysis. It is highly recommended and will certainly find a well-deserving place on many bookshelves. -- Peter R. Massopust Mathematical Reviews The subject matter of this book is important to all mathematical scientists... Is this a good book for your library? It's better than that. Put this slim volume in your backpack next time you hiking by the sea. -- Michael F. Barnsley SIAM Review
Fractals and Multifractals in Ecology and Aquatic ScienceProvides an Intuitive View of Various Ecological Patterns and Processes
Ecologists sometimes have a less-than-rigorous background in quantitative methods, yet research within this broad field is becoming increasingly mathematical. Written in a step-by-step fashion, Fractals and Multifractals in Ecology and Aquatic Science provides scientists with a basic understanding of fractals and multifractals and the techniques for utilizing them when analyzing ecological phenomenon.
