«Los objetos fractales: forma, azar y dimensión» is Benoît Mandelbrot's essay, published by Círculo de Lectores in hardcover (256 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from questions such as how long is the coast of Brittany, Mandelbrot shows how fractal geometry describes irregular shapes that classical geometry cannot address. The book covers the role of chance, terrestrial relief, the distribution of galaxies, turbulence and hierarchical structures, and sets out its scientific applications.
1996 edition within the Biblioteca Universal collection from Círculo de Lectores.
A popular science work for those who want to understand how mathematics describes the irregular shapes of the natural world.
