概要 | The title suggests this to be yet another book about fractals for general readers, and so in some respects it is: mathematical material is generally avoided, the paper slick, the figures very numerous...and frequently quite interesting/informative. The text touches--frequently digressively (in the style of a "random walk")--on many topics, and appears to be the work of an engaged/engaging proselytizer. But the author is by profession a materials scientist, with special interest in ceramics, dust, the fracture of materials, and it is that subject matter which again and again provides his point of departure, his motivating thread. It is primarily from that idiosyncrasy (together with its lucid accessibility) that the book derives its distinction. Paper edition available (0-89573-888-0) at $39.50.
