Sinopsis

The patterns on the shells of tropical sea snails are not only beautiful but tell the tale of biological development. The decorative patterns are records of their own genesis, which follow their own laws. Hans Meinhardt has analyzed the dynamical process that form these patterns and retraced them faithfully in computer simulations. His book reveals scientific knowledge and fascinating pictures. An accompanying diskette with the corresponding algorithms offers wide scope to those who wish to try their hand at simulating or varying the patterns.

Reseña del editor

The patterns on the shells of tropical sea snails are not only compellingly beautiful but also tell a tale of biological development. The decorative patterns are records of their own genesis, which follows laws like those of dune formation or the spread of a flu epidemic. Hans Meinhardt has analyzed the dynamical processes that form these patterns and retraced them faithfully in computer simulations. His book is exciting not only for the astonishing scientific knowledge it reveals but also for its fascinating pictures. An accompanying diskette with the corresponding algorithms offers wide scopes to those with a PC who whish to try their hand at simulating and varying the patterns.
