TitleMorphogenesis Deconstructed : An Integrated View of the Generation of Forms
Author(s)Pismen, Len
PublicationCham, Springer International Publishing, 2020.
DescriptionVIII, 146 p. 2 illus., 1 illus. in color : online resource
Abstract NoteThis book is about morphogenesis as the genesis of forms. It is not restricted to plants growing from seed or animals developing from an embryo (although these do supply the most abundant examples) but also addresses kindred processes, from inorganic to social to biomorphic technology. It is about our morphogenetic universe: unplanned, unfair and frustratingly complicated but benevolent in allowing us to emerge, survive, and inquire into its laws

TitleSpirals and Vortices : In Culture, Nature, and Science
Author(s)Tsuji, Kinko;M??ller, Stefan C
PublicationCham, Springer International Publishing, 2019.
DescriptionXVI, 298 p. 197 illus., 133 illus. in color : online resource
Abstract NoteThis richly illustrated book explores the fascinating and ubiquitous occurrence of spirals and vortices in human culture and in nature. Spiral forms have been used as elements in the arts for thousands of years, whereas their role in nature and science ??? from DNA and sea shells to galaxies ??? is still a topic of investigation in numerous fields. Following an introduction to the cultural history of spiral forms, the book presents contributions from leading experts, who describe the origins, mechanisms and dynamics of spirals and vortices in their special fields. As a whole the book provides a valuable source of information, while also taking the reader on an aesthetic and scientific journey through the world of spiral forms

TitleDiffusive Spreading in Nature, Technology and Society
Author(s)Bunde, Armin;Caro, J??rgen;K??rger, J??rg;Vogl, Gero
PublicationCham, Springer International Publishing, 2018.
DescriptionXVI, 418 p. 148 illus., 103 illus. in color : online resource
Abstract NoteThis book deals with randomly moving objects and their spreading. The objects considered are particles like atoms and molecules, just as living beings like humans, animals, plants, bacteria and even abstract entities like ideas, rumors, information, innovations and linguistic features. The book explores and communicates the laws behind these movements and reports about astonishing similarities and very specific features typical of the given object under considerations. Leading scientists in disciplines as different as archeology, epidemics, linguistics and sociology, in contact with their colleagues from engineering, natural sciences and mathematics, introduce into the phenomena of spreading as relevant for their fields. An introductory chapter on ???Spreading Fundamentals??? provides a common basis for all these considerations, with a minimum of mathematics, selected and presented for enjoying rather than frustrating the reader

TitlePhysics, Nature and Society : A Guide to Order and Complexity in Our World
Author(s)Marro, Joaqu??n
PublicationCham, Springer International Publishing, 2014.
DescriptionXII, 204 p. 146 illus : online resource
Abstract NoteThis wide-ranging and accessible book serves as a fascinating guide to the strategies and concepts that help us understand the boundaries between physics, on the one hand, and sociology, economics, and biology on the other. From cooperation and criticality to flock dynamics and fractals, the author addresses many of the topics belonging to the broad theme of complexity. He chooses excellent examples (requiring no prior mathematical knowledge) to illuminate these ideas and their implications. The lively style and clear description of the relevant models will appeal both to novices and those with an existing knowledge of the field
