Table of ContentsReviewsThis fascinating exploration should awaken readers' powers of observation and appreciation for the intricacies of nature. -Publishers Weekly, starred review Using clear text and outstanding color photographs, Campbell explores the concept of these unusual shapes. . . An afterword reveals more of Mandlebrot's background and work, which will be an inspiration to budding scientists/mathematicians. -School Library Journal, starred review This beautifully designed volume is a useful resource and, apparently, the only children's book devoted to fractals. -Booklist Through examples of what fractals are and what they aren't, this photo essay introduces a complex mathematical idea in a simple, inviting way. Using a straightforward text and eye-catching photographs, the Campbells start with the familiar: spheres, cones, cylinders--shapes readers can find and readily name in their environments. But then they move on to the more elaborate forms . . . For visual learners, this is a particularly accessible demonstration of an intriguing concept. -Kirkus Reviews Author InformationSarah C.
