Mendes FranceCet ouvrage est destiné aux chercheurs en sciences expérimentales, et comporte un minimum de formalisme mathématique afin de le rendre plus directement accessible.From the reviews:"The book under review is an enlarged and enhanced version of the book with the same title published in 1993 … . The book under review complements and supplements the existing monographs on fractal sets in general, and fractal curves in particular. It is accessible for a general audience with some interest in fractal geometry." (Emilia Petrisor, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2005 j)
