A Fractal World; 1.1. Fractals pervade into geography; 1.1.1. From geosciences to physical geography; 1.1.2. Urban geography: a big beneficiary; 1.2. Forms of fractal processes; 1.2.1. Some fractal forms that make use of the principle of allometry; 1.2.2. Time series and processes are also fractal; 1.2.3. Rank-size rules are generally fractal structures; 1.3. First reflections on the link between power laws and fractals; 1.3.1. Brief introduction into power laws. -- Summary: Our daily universe is rough and infinitely diverse. The fractal approach clarifies and orders these disparities. It helps us to envisage new explanations of geographical phenomena, which are, however, considered as definitely understood. Written for use by geographers and researchers from similar disciplines, such as ecologists, economists, historians and sociologists, this book presents the algorithms best adapted to the phenomena encountered, and proposes case studies illustrating their applications in concrete situations. An appendix is also provided that develops programs writ. -- ISBN : 9781118603024 (online ; pdf). -- 1118603028. -- 9781118603178. -- 1118603176. -- 9781118603161. -- 1118603168. -- 9781848213289. -- 184821328X.
