    The Book that Started It All

    This is the book that started Fractal Geometry. Neitsche once said that mathematics would not have come into existence if man had known that in nature there was no such thing as a straight line. Mandlebrot's groundbreaking work reveals mathematics at work in the shapes of objects such as clouds, tree branches, and so forth. A breakthrough way of thinking. My only criticism is that the book assumes some basic knowledge of math.

    Seminal classic book for your library

    Mandelbrot presents unique and infinitely deep look at nature. The emerging theory of interaction shows that his notion of fractal turned to be more fruitful than anyone could guess.
