Why do living things and physical phenomena take the form they do?
D'Arcy Thompson's classic On Growth and Form looks at the way
things grow and the shapes they take. Analysing biological
processes in their mathematical and physical aspects, this historic
work, first published in 1917, has also become renowned for the
sheer poetry of its descriptions. A great scientist sensitive to
the fascinations and beauty of the natural world tells of jumping
fleas and slipper limpets; of buds and seeds; of bees' cells and
rain drops; of the potter's thumb and the spider's web; of a film
of soap and a bubble of oil; of a splash of a pebble in a pond.
