When John McPhee was working on his previous book, "Rising from the Plains," he happened to walk by the engineering building at the University of Wyoming, where words etched in limestone said: "Strive On -- the Control of Nature is Won, Not Given." In the morning sunlight, that central phrase -- "the control of nature" -- seemed to sparkle with unintended ambiguity. Bilateral, symmetrical, it could with equal speed travel in opposite directions. For some years, he had been planning a book about places in the world where people have been engaged in all-out battles with nature, about (in the words of the book itself) "any struggle against natural forces -- heroic or venal, rash or well advised -- when human beings conscript themselves to fight against the earth, to take what is not given, to rout the destroying enemy, to surround the base of Mt. Olympus demanding and expecting the surrender of the Gods." His interest had first been sparked when he went into the Atchafalaya -- the largest river swamp in North America -- and had learned that virtually all of its waters were metered and rationed by a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' project called Old River Control.

Octavo in silver-grey cloth with color illustration; 199 pp. : illustrations (some color) ; 29 cm. In English. From the library of Nobel laureate Dr. Donald A. Glaser, inventor of the bubble chamber; search keyword DGLSR for more collectible titles from the Glaser collection. || "The authors present an unusual attempt to publicize the field of Complex Dynamics, an exciting mathematical discipline of respectable tradition that recently sprang into new life under the impact of modern computer graphics. Where previous generations of scientists had to develop their own inner eye to perceive the abstract aesthetics of their work, the astounding pictures assembled here invite the reader to share in a new mathematical experience, to revel in the charm of fractal frontiers." Contents: Frontiers of chaos. Special sections: 1. Verhulst dynamics -- 2. Julia sets and their computergraphical generation -- 3. Sullivan's classification of critical points -- 4. The Mandelbrot set -- 5. External angles and Hubbard trees -- 6. Newton's method for complex polynomials: Cayley's problem -- 7. Newton's method for real equations -- 8. A discrete Volterra-Lotka system -- Magnetism and complex boundaries -- Special sections: 9. Yang-Lee zeros -- 10. Renormalization -- Invited contributions -- Fractals and the rebirth of iteration theory / B.B. Mandelbrot -- Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set / A. Douady -- Freedom, science, and aesthetics / G. Eilenberger -- Refractions of science into art / H.W. Franke -- Do it yourself -- Documentation.
