Review of “Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Methods, Algorithms and Applications”
This book review suggests that, while the book is aimed at researchers in fractal geometry and is likely to be most useful for those with some expertise in the subject, the book is something to be consulted by anyone wishing to move beyond the popular misconception that fractal geometry is nothing more than pretty pictures. Rather, the chapters in the book illustrate the wide-ranging applications of fractal geometry in aircraft design, finance, geology, digital image compression, and cryptography.

Abstract
This book review suggests that, while the book is aimed at researchers in fractal geometry and is likely to be most useful for those with some expertise in the subject, the book is something to be consulted by anyone wishing to move beyond the popular misconception that fractal geometry is nothing more than pretty pictures. Rather, the chapters in the book illustrate the wide-ranging applications of fractal geometry in aircraft design, finance, geology, digital image compression, and cryptography.
