Format:Hardcover
The book is excellently illustrated and all that one could wish for in the discussion of fractals and the artistic patterns that can result from the exploration of them. In conjunction with "Fractal Domains" downloaded from the web, it provides an excellent introduction to both the science/mathematics as well as the art.
