The fractal concept has become an important tool for understanding irregular complex systems in various scientific disciplines. This book discusses in great detail fractals in biology, heterogeneous chemistry, polymers, and the earth sciences. Beginning with a general introduction to fractal geometry it continues with eight chapters on self-organized criticality, rough surfaces and interfaces, random walks, chemical reactions, and fractals in chemistry, biology, and medicine. A special chapter entitled "Computer Exploration of Fractals, Chaos, and Cooperativity" presents computer demonstrations of fractal models.

Shlomo Havlin is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Bar-Ilan University, Israel. He is an editor for several physics journals, has published over 600 articles in international journals, co-authored and co-edited 11 books, and won numerous awards for his work including the Weizmann Prize (2009) and the APS Lilienfeld Prize (2010).
