SuperFractals

[Paul N. Lee]

Greetings,

On Monday, Michael Barnsley posted a message in the recently established
Fractal Forums online group <http://www.fractalforums.com/> about his
new book called "SuperFractals", which apparently has just been
published by Cambridge University Press.

The website that Michael Barnsley gave in his message was:
http://www.superfractals.com/
Which states:
"A superfractal is defined by a set of iterated
function systems (IFS), and may consist of an
infinite collection of related, intricate,
beautiful pictures."

Does anyone have any information on this book, or better yet has
acquired it and maybe even started reading it?? Was curious as to
others opinion of the text.


Sincerely,
P.N.L.

Hi Paul,

On the new Fractal Forums group I asked MB to give us a little more
information about new developments in the relationship between fractals
and physical nature, which he mentioned as one of the topics of his
book. I am still hoping for a response. Perhaps you could ask him to
post a Table of Contents, or a cover jacket synopsis, or something, on
the FF.com.

I'm very curious too,
Rob

You can see some info (including table of contents) on the Amazon.com
listing for this book

The URL to the SuperFractals website has a direct link to the Amazon.com
website
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0521844932/002-9556882-5507263?v=glance&n=283155
where it does discuss a little more about the book, and even has
sections where it shows:
Front Cover
Table of Contents
Copyright
Excerpt
Index
Surprise Me!

There is a full listing showing the five chapters and the sub-topic
contents within each of them. You can even read several pages that are
available by clicking through the book online.

It would be great if Michael would put up a free copy of Superfractals
as a prize, say, for the most thought-provoking new topic posted at
www.fractalforums.com.

Gotta love shameless plugs - Michael does! :-)
