Prof. Frame, hello from a Union alum!

My wife and I were in a bookstore yesterday, and commented that there used to be graphics books on fractals - both algorithmic as well as photo books, but that seems to no longer be the case. Being a fan of The Beauty of Fractals and the Science of Fractal Images from years ago, are there any current books that you would recommend that provide source code for generating fractal images, above and beyond the "basic" fractals of 20 years ago? Thanks!

Edit: P.S. My wife is a descendant of Dr. Thomas Wynne, so may be a distant relation to your AMA compatriot. :)

Google Maps has been used to identify lost cities and other features on Earth's surface. Out of curiosity, can satellite mapping or similar technologies help to locate sunken cities, shipwrecks, etc. or must you rely on, say, sonar from surface ships? Thanks!
