___Few give a rip, not nobody gives a rip.
___Any book could be bogus; reader beware.
___It is not my fault, I am the fault; cracked Earth, get it.
___The book is the seminal work describing and literally defining 'fractal'. Never mind if you understand the text & formulae, just read it, front to back while enjoying the pretty pictures & drawings. Let the general sense of the work soak in like the steady new waves lapping a sandy shore.
___Because with this new understanding of dimension, that is we have not just 2-dimensional thingys, & 3-dimensional thingys, but 1.2618 dimensional thingys & so on in between, and because they pervade nature, and because they share recursion as an operative element, I think any real grand unified theory must include recursion as an operative element.
___Pretty pictures...pretty pictures...
