This insightful work explains Mandelbrot's fractal geometry and
describes some of its most interesting applications. Fractal
geometry exploits a characteristic property of the real
world--self-similarity--to find simple rules for the assembly of
complex natural objects. Beginning with the foundations of
measurement in Euclidean geometry, the authors progress from
analogues in the geometry of random fractals to applications
spanning the natural sciences, including the developmental biology
of neurons and pancreatic islets, fluctuations of bird populations,
patterns in vegetative ecosystems, and even earthquake models.
Written to enable students and researchers to master the methods of
this timely subject, the book steers a middle course between the
formality of many papers in mathematics and the informality of
picture-orientated books on fractals. It is both a logically
developed text and an essential "fractals for users" handbook. It
is an essential resource for researchers and students in ecology,
biology, applied mathematics, and plant and environmental sciences.
