Exploring Fractals on the Macintosh

Excellent Introduction! If you only have time or inclination enough to read one book, and want either enough information to satisfy mild curiosity or to provide a jumping off point for further exploration, this is the book to start with. An excellent work offering a brief survey of the field of chaos and fractals, almost every page offers something new and interesting to the reader, whether or not the preceeding pages have already been read. Included are a list of quotes, an analysis of the research being done on chaos in various fields, and a list of fields that the study of chaos impacts.
