This popular science book celebrates the tenth anniversary of the cult classic documentary on fractals by the same name (Colours of Infinity) and the 80th birthday of Benoit Mandelbrot. The book updates the topic of fractals with a modern perspective, including contributions from Mandelbrot, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, Robert Prechter, Ian Stuart, and Michael Barsley.
