Format:Hardcover
This is a truly excellent textbook on the subject of fractals, complete with some runnable programs and comprehensive explanation of the principles of generating fractals. However, the proofs and examples are meaty, and it takes a long time to wade through the detail. But it is worth it.
Format:Hardcover
It's great that the introduction is very formal. Fractals are described from the ground up starting with an introduction on measure theory and topology. My only beef is the exercises. It would've helped to have more examples in solving exercise problems. Even a separate student manual with full solutions would've been great.

If anyone wants to know about fractals, I recommend him to
read this book. It will give him a clear idea about the
underlying concept of creating fractals.
