4.0 out of 5 stars A cool book that I wish the authors would update!, June 21, 2005

By	Daniel Lamb (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I really loved this book when it came out, and wish the authors would get together to update both the material in the book and the software that came with it to run on 'modern' computing equipment, (this was written when DOS was still king!) The book provided a really good, hands-on approach to fractal theory. It is a little light on application, but wasn't meant to have any of that, so I can forgive and forget. Moving down through to the borders of a Mandlebrot or Julia set in 16bit colour was amazing, and I would love to see what it would look like in the 16 million + colours available on computers today!
