This book explains how nature's patterns - the markings on animals, windblown ripples of sand, the forms of water in motion - are woven by self-organization, through simple, local interactions between their component parts.
This text explains how nature's patterns - the markings on animals, windblown ripples of sand, the forms of water in motion - are woven by self-organization, through simple, local interactions between their component parts. The products of self-organization are universal patterns: spirals, spots and stripes, branches and honeycombs.
