Let's don't forget:

Turtle Geometry
The Computer as a Medium for Exploring Mathematics
Harold Abelson & Andrea disSessa
1980, MIT Press.

The turtle gets to do some fractal geometry in the following book.
It's a lab-like intro. to chaos and fractals, the labs being
computer listings accompanied by gentle discussions of the
mathematics. Especially good for pre-calculus or rusty-calculus
folks, it goes next to the above book on my shelf. The examples
are in Pascal & BASIC, but the ones I've had time to do I've done
in Logo so far. (Only some of the programs, primarily the fractals,
use turtle geometry.)

The Chaos Cookbook
Joe Pritchard
Butterworth Heinemann, 1992
ISBN 0-7506-0304-6
