I look forward to your posts on this as well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16066285550739882631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18321380.post-15340951972840697442009-11-23T14:46:10.385-06:002009-11-23T14:46:10.385-06:00I've read 'Chaos' a couple times and a...I've read 'Chaos' a couple times and always love it. In terms of science books written for a popular audience it is very high on my list ... extremely well-written and thought-provoking.<br /><br />In terms of its applicability to sedimentary geology I'd agree that examples of manifestations of chaos and scale invariance (e.g., fractals) are interesting but should be considered w/BrianRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930245080333999989noreply@blogger.com
