2.0 out of 5 stars
A case of bad editing?,
By R. Bagula "Roger L. Bagula" (Lakeside, Ca United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Fractals in Physics: Essays in Honour of Benoit B Mandelbrot : Proceedings of the International Conference Honouring Benoit B Mandelbrot on His 65th (Paperback)
My impression from reading this book is that the articles were so clipped down that in most cases it would be impossible from the text to duplicate many of the diagrams.
Since interest in fractals has centered around the graphics in the popular mind, I blame the major editor for truncated articles by many of these great authors so that the articles are more like summaries than true articles. In the past when faced with such articles, I have had to search the references in order to figure out the substance of the article. Books like this can do more harm to science than good. |
