I am surprised that noone has yet mentioned Mandelbrot's own book, the
latest edition of which is called "The Fractal Geometry of Nature", W.H.
Freeman, 1983.  It is actually very clear and readable, with some excellent
illustrations.  It also has some discussion of chaos, although not fully
up-to-date.  [BTW, the most widely seen application of fractals must be
the Genesis planet in the Star Trek movies II and III]
