4.0 out of 5 starsA beautiful journey through math and nature
By tyrrella@docu-max.com on October 19, 1998
Format: Hardcover
One of the only fractal books available for non-mathematicians, An Eye for Fractals interweaves beautiful photographs of natural scenes with explanations of their fractal geometric characteristics. It gives enough information about fractals for a beginner to understand what they are and how they apply to nature. Its photography makes it a perfect book to leave out on the coffee table.
Fractal geometry is revolutionizing the way that scientists perceive the universe and its underlying order. Anyone can benefit greatly from this understanding by reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 starsScience and art, together again
By Bernie HALL OF FAMETOP 1000 REVIEWER on October 9, 2009
Format: Hardcover
I was aware of fractals for some time and after watching a NOVA film "Hunting the Hidden Dimension" (2008). I went hunting for some of the many books by Benoit Mandelbrot. You can imagine my surprise with I tripped over this book, "An Eye for Fractals" by Michael McGuire.

Stacked up against other fractal works, this book has more stunning pictures both in quantity and quality. Even though the formulas are a tad complex with number lines and complex planes, the ideas on how to make and see fractals are quite clear.

If we were not enamored with fractal the book would stand on its own as great monochrome depictions of nature and monuments. There is one picture by Ansel Adams and the rest are by M McGuire. If you did not see the titles I challenge you to find the Adams picture.

Every time I read this book I get a different insight into the world of fractals and believe you will also.

4.0 out of 5 starsbeautiful BW photographs
By Howard Mcpherson on August 8, 2003
Format: Hardcover
I just got this book from the library. It many well printed BW photographs. There is some math discussion on fractals but there is no discussion of computer software for generating fractals pictures. Still a great book.
