Reviews

"The book 'Fractal Growth Phenomena' by T Vicsek is a complete up-to-date introduction, documentation and reference guide to this field. The book is written in a precise and fascinating manner. The clear style allows a fast understanding of the material also for those who did not study mathematics or physics." Martin Obert Justus-Liebig-Universitat Giessen "In summary the book offers an excellent introduction to and overview of a rapidly expanding field. It will serve as both a standard reference work for those already working in the area and as a comprehensive introduction for those wishing to learn more." Murray T Batchelor Australian & New Zealand Physicist, 1995
