Fractals, Chaos, Power Laws: Minutes from an Infinite Paradise"As notable as the book's broad sweep is the author's good natured, humorous presentation. The willing reader can sit back and enjoy an all encompassing, irrepressibly enthusiastic tour, ranging from psycho physics to quasicrystals, from gambling strategies to Bach concertos, from the construction of Cantor sets to the design of concert halls."

"As notable as the book's broad sweep is the author's good-natured, humorous presentation. The willing reader can sit back and enjoy an all-encompassing, irrepressibly enthusiastic tour, ranging from psycho physics to quasicrystals, from gambling strategies to Bach concertos, from the construction of Cantor sets to the design of concert halls." -- Physics Today
"Such a richness of topics and amazing splendor of illustrations " -- Mathematics Magazine
"An inviting exposition for a literate but not highly scientific audience." -- American Mathematical Monthly
This fascinating book explores the connections between chaos theory, physics, biology, and mathematics. Its award-winning computer graphics, optical illusions, and games illustrate the concept of self-similarity, a typical property of fractals. Author Manfred Schroeder -- hailed by Publishers Weekly as a modern Lewis Carroll -- conveys memorable insights in the form of puns and puzzles that relate abstract mathematics to everyday experience.
Excellent entertainment for readers with a grasp of algebra and some calculus, this book forms a fine university-level introduction to fractal math. Eight pages of color images clarify the text, along with numerous black-and-white illustrations.

Cute and soft

Returned it. It did not stay close. Wanted to use as a cute diaper bag alternative. But if you don’t carry a lot of stuff, it might work for you. Very cute butter, soft material.

Great bag, but...
Size: One Size, Color: Tan
This tote is good. Great size, looks more expensive than what it was and I have received compliment on it. The reason I gave three stars is that it does not stays closed! The magnets are just not strong enough to keep it closed.
