Back cover:

Fractals are Officially Cool

Where most books on fractals concentrate on mathematical theory, Alt.Fractals takes a graphical approach. Starting with the fractal "standards" – the Sierpinski Triangle and Pyramid, Menger Sponge, Julia and Mandelbrot Sets – Alt.Fractals explores the world of variations one step removed from the usual textbook versions.

With over two hundred and fifty diagrams and additional thumbnails giving constructional details, Alt.Fractals is a fascinating browsing experience for the newcomer, a key resource for anyone interested in fractal design, and an essential bookshelf reference for the expert.
