Development of the shapes of living organisms and their parts is a
field of science in which there are no generally accepted
theoretical principles. What form these principles are likely to
take, when they emerge, is a subject in which there is a wide gulf
of disagreement between physical scientists and experimental
biologists. This book contains both an extensive philosophical
commentary on this dichotomy in views and an exposition of the type
of theory most favoured by physical scientists. In this theory
living form is a manifestation of the dynamics of chemical change
and physical transport or other physics of spatial communication.
The reaction-diffusion theory, as initiated by Turing in 1952 and
since elaborated by Prigogine and by Gierer and Meinhardt among
others, is discussed in detail at a level that requires a good
knowledge of a first course in calculus, but no more than that.
