The Colours of Infinity
A geometry able to include mountains and clouds now exists. I put it together in 1975, but of course it incorporates numerous pieces that have been around for a very long time. Like everything in science, this new geometry has very, very deep and long roots. Benoît B. Mandelbrot Introduction This enhanced and expanded edition of THE COLOURS OF INFINITY features an additional chapter on the money markets by the fractal master himself, Professor Benoît Mandelbrot. The DVD of the film associated with this book has been re-mastered especially for this edition with exquisite new fractal animations, which will take your breath away! Driven by the curious enthusiasm that engulfs many fractalistas...
Life is Just ...
The story is set in Cambridge in 1962 at the dawn of the decade of the cultural revolution. What the Wheatcroft family don't have isn't worth having...and they have everything to lose...
Nothing and Everywhere
In the comic thriller 'Nothing and Everywhere' John Smith, an unpublished and regrettably named novelist, has his computer stolen and with it the only copy of his latest novel. Despite fear of his guru's disapproval, John mysteriously acquires two handguns, a load of cash and a crack team to reclaim his work. Together with Susie Bellavista, a beautiful and enigmatic maths genius, Biro, a Hungarian ex-RAF Regiment sergeant and March Klossowski, one-time activist and fellow-failed writer, John explores the power and wonder of mathematics in an attempt to solve an imponderable, real life mystery. Where will this whirlwind adventure lead? Back up your files and enjoy the ride!
Introducing Fractals
Fractals are the geometry of the natural world. They're about the broken, wrinkled, wiggly world- the uneven shapes of nature, unlike the idealised forms of Euclidean geometry. We see fractals everywhere; indeed, we are fractals ourselves. Fractal geometry is an extension of classical geometry which can make precise models of physical structures, from ferns to galaxies. It can describe the shape of a cloud as precisely as an architect can describe a house. Introducing Fractals traces the historical development of this mathematical discipline, explores its descriptive powers in the natural world, and then looks at the applications and the implications of the discoveries it has made. As John Archibald Wheeler, protégé of Niels Bohr, friend of Albert Einstein and mentor of Richard Feynman has said, 'No one will be considered scientifically literate tomorrow, who is not familiar with fractals.'
BEHIND OPEN DOORS
Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon, the Acid Messiah of 101 Cromwell Road: His life and times. 101 has become legendary over the decades, being regarded as the hub of Swinging London, where the Beautiful People went to turn on and tune in. But NOT drop out! With a cast of thousands, including Beatles, Stones, aristocrats and secret agents, this colourful account of a brief moment that changed the world will entertain and enthral. Not only do we learn who took the acid, we also discover how - and why - it came to London in the first place. Conspiracy and control, liberation and love. All human life is here!

Survival of the Coolest
Being a descendant of Charles Darwin might not make William Pryor a celebrity, but his memoir ought to. Survival of the Coolest is a deep read about a man with a legacy for greatness who instead dives into drug addiction and comes up to tell about it. Do yourself a favour, put down the celeb bios and read this real life account of a real cool life.
Fractals: A Very Short Introduction
This essential discussion of the popular science and mathematics behind fractals reveals how fractal shapes can be found everywhere in nature from clouds to coastlines, and explains how basic concepts in fractal geometry produced a revolution in mathematical understandings of patterns in the 20th century.
Ugly
Cites examples in art, architecture, and history to consider whether ugliness is an aesthetic judgment subject to taste, considering whether an object whose appearance is related to something negative can still be considered beautiful.
