AI Thread Summary
Mandelbrot's "Fractal Geometry of Nature" is considered accessible, prompting interest in more rigorous textbooks to deepen understanding. Recommendations include Kenneth Falconer's "Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications," which is noted for its comprehensive coverage of the mathematical principles underlying fractals and their applications in physics. The discussion emphasizes the need for standard textbooks that provide a solid foundation in fractal geometry, highlighting the importance of bridging gaps in knowledge for those interested in the subject.

I find Mandelbrot's Fractal Geometry of Nature relatively light reading, but am interested in a more standard textbook account to fill in my gaps in knowledge. Do people know of some good textbooks on the subjects - and other volumes relating to fractals and their application to physics.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
