Publisher's Synopsis
Fractals are the visual depictions of mathematical equations -- the same equations, in fact, that describe natural phenomena such as coastlines, plant shapes, and weather patterns. A computer program assigns a color to each point in the image based on the answer to a chosen equation, which then results in abstract fractal shapes. Artist Alice Kelley manipulates dozens of variables to create these fascinating organic designs. - Includes US and Canadian legal holidays, phases of the moon, and important observances of the world's major religions. - Printed on paper sourced from a combination of recycled materials and wood harvested from socially and environmentally sustainable forests. - WE PLANT TREES -- Amber Lotus Publishing, an independent carbon-negative US company, has planted MORE THAN ONE MILLION trees since 2008 to offset our carbon footprint and resource usage.
