Chaos and fractals Book

This is a book I read or skim or have varying levels of engagement with each time I pick it up. I always get something new from it. Fractals, Chaos, and Power laws started getting my attention in the late 80s in my deadhead days. The patterns created jived well with my psychedelic aesthetic at the time and I became intrigued by the subject and have had an eye out for books on it ever since.It seems nature quickly tired of the boring old geometry of Euclid (circles and triangles only take you so far) but an iteration of fleas being bitten by smaller fleas who in turn are bitten by smaller fleas and so on. The power of iteration seems to be a powerful form generator in nature and she uses it all the time. Using mixing as well another character that nature adores deterministic Chaos aka the butterfly effect where a system that starts with extremely close initial conditions soon diverges unpredictably. It is the reason why weather forecasting is pretty much useless extrapolating a week or two out into the future. And my favorite persona comes on stage the Mandelbrot another set of points that is created by a simple iteration process that generates infinite complexity and intricate beautiful patterns it is exhibit A for Plato's heavenly form. So little goes in to generate so much. Books like this get me to overcome my laziness and engage with the math. A well I draw upon often.
