6 leaves, 244 pp; 36 figs. Original cloth-backed boards. Near Fine, in dust jacket. First Edition. INSCRIBED BY STEPHEN JAY GOULD TO BENOIT MANDELBROT: "For Benoit Mandelbrot/ Best wishes &/ thanks for all your insights/ Steve/ Stephen Jay Gould." "In the mid-1970s, I often saw Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002), a lively paleontologist with multiple appointments at Harvard. Quite independently, we had become two very visible champions of discontinuity--he in paleontology and I in the variation of financial prices. Early in 1977, I was visiting Boston and called him to see if he was free for lunch while I was in town. He was, and a date was set" (The Fractalist, p. 251). Seller Inventory # 15752
