Fractal noise [sound recording] / by Paolini, Christopher,author.(CARDINAL)669667; Hale, Jennifer,1972-narrator.(CARDINAL)607059;
Read by Jennifer Hale.July 25th, 2234: The crew of the Adamura discovers the Anomaly. On the seemingly uninhabited planet Talos VII: a circular pit, 50 kilometers wide. Its curve not of nature, but design. Now, a small team must land and journey on foot across the surface to learn who built the hole and why. But they all carry the burdens of lives carved out on disparate colonies in the cruel cold of space. For some the mission is the dream of the lifetime, for others a risk not worth taking, and for one it is a desperate attempt to find meaning in an uncaring universe. Each step they take toward the mysterious abyss is more punishing than the last. And the ghosts of their past follow.--

Fractal time : the secret of 2012 and a new world age / by Braden, Gregg.(CARDINAL)658783;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 243-252).The time code program : finding our future in the cycles of the past -- Our journey through time : the doctrine of world ages -- The end of time : our date with 2012 -- The key to the universe : time and nature's most beautiful numbers -- History repeats in love and war : fractal warnings for the future -- The end of time revisited : what can we expect? -- Choice point 2012 : armageddon or the second eden?In this fascinating book, Braden merges the modern discoveries of nature's patterns (fractals) with the ancient view of a cyclic universe. The result is a powerful model of time--"fractal time"--and a realistic window into what to expect for the mysterious year 2012.

Fractal worlds : grown, built, and imagined / by Frame, Michael,author.; Urry, Amelia,1991-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 439-489) and index.Fractal geometry is a uniquely fascinating area of mathematics, exhibited in a range of shapes that exist in the natural world, from a simple broccoli floret to a majestic mountain range. In this essential primer, mathematician Michael Frame-a close collaborator with Benoit Mandelbrot, the founder of fractal geometry-and poet Amelia Urry explore the amazing world of fractals as they appear in nature, art, medicine, and technology. Frame and Urry offer new insights into such familiar topics as measuring fractal complexity by dimension and the life and work of Mandelbrot. In addition, they delve into less-known areas: fractals with memory, the Mandelbrot set in four dimensions, fractals in literature, and more. An inviting introduction to an enthralling subject, this comprehensive volume is ideal for learning and teaching.

The fractal murders / by Cohen, Mark,1958-(CARDINAL)460694;
Former federal prosecutor Pepper Keane is hired by University of Colorado mathematics professor Jayne Smyers to look into the deaths of three colleagues who had nothing in common other than their field of expertise-fractal geometry. An FBI investigation prompted by Smyers found no link among the geographically separate, methodologically different deaths (two of them murders, one ruled a suicide). An appealing maverick, Keane lives in a small mountain town near Boulder with two animal rescue dogs, collects old-time rock 'n' roll and country music tunes and likes to read philosophy. In his dogged effort to connect the three deaths, Keane butts heads with an old FBI nemesis and finds an occasional ally, as well as an unexpected rival.
