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.

A hard cover publication of 287 pages, medium 4to. with many explanatory figures and colour plates. The text and d / w. are virtually as new but there has been some sort of printing problem, I think, which has left the front endpaper a couple of millimetres short of the other pages - not very serious!
