The two classic books on fractals that you should be aware of are
       FRACTALS form, chance, and dimension  (ISBN 0-7167-0473-0)  
       The Fractal Geometry of Nature        (ISBN 0-7167-1186-9)

Both books are published by W. H. Freeman and Company San Francisco and the
author is Benoit B. Mandelbrot. 

Another very good reference on chaotic behaviour is in a periodical entitled
       Physica D (Netherlands).  Proceedings of the International
       Conference on Order in Chaos.  Vol. 7D, No. 1-3, Los Alamos NM USA
       24-28 May 1982.
There are papers in in this publication by Feigenbaum (chaos theory) and
Mandelbrot.
