Chaos: Making a New Science
by James Gleick
Few writers distinguish themselves by their ability to write about
complicated, even obscure topics clearly and engagingly. James Gleick,
a former science writer for the New York Times, resides in this exclusive
category. Here he takes on the job of depicting the first years
of the study of chaos - the seemingly random patterns that characterize
many natural phenomena. This is not a purely technical book and it focuses as much on the
scientists studying chaos as on the chaos itself. As for chaos itself, Gleick does an outstanding job of explaining the
thought processes and investigative techniques that researchers bring to bear on chaos problems. Rather than attempt to explain Julia sets,
Lorenz attractors, and the Mandelbrot Set with complex equations, he relies on sketches, photographs, and a wonderful descriptive prose. Essential introductory reading! More

The Fractal Geometry of Nature by Benoit B Mandelbrot
It was Mandelbrot who who introduced fractal theory to the world in its present form, and this book is still a milestone
in the history of fractals. The Fractal Geometry of Nature is a mathematics text, but buried in the
deltas, lambdas and integrals even a layperson can pick out and appreciate Mandelbrot's point: that somewhere in mathematics, there is an explanation
for nature. More
