This book introduces the fundamentals of fractal geometry and chaotic dynamics, and relates these to applications such as drainage networks, earthquakes, mineral and petroleum resources, mantle convection and magnetic field generation. In this greatly expanded second edition, coverage of self-organised criticality is expanded and statistics and time series are included. Problems are included for the reader to solve.
