SuperFractals by Michael Fielding Barnsley

Mathematical modeling of patterns of nature, building on Barnsley's previous methodology of iterated function systems. Readable, for the most part, only by professional mathematicians and their graduate students. The rest of us can admire the exquisite color figures. www.superfractals.com
