Fractal geometry, based on recursive mathematical schemas, provides a means for modelling a great number of natural phenomena, and for this reason is of increasing interest to physicists, chemists, biologists and geographers, amongst others. A major quality of fractality is that not only does it unify in a single theoretical framework phenomena thought previously to be anomalous or disparate, but it also promotes a return to graphical treatment, which had been almost completely banished from scientific thought in favour of analysis. This book casts a new light on scientific territories still not fully explored. It is addressed to research workers, engineers and experimentalists faced with problems of measurement and action in heterogeneous materials and environments.
