What are the relations between the shape of a system of cities and
that of fish school? Which events should happen in a cell in order
that it participates to one of the finger of our hands? How to
interpret the shape of a sand dune? This collective book written
for the non-specialist addresses these questions and more
generally, the fundamental issue of the emergence of forms and
patterns in physical and living systems. It is a single book
gathering the different aspects of morphogenesis and approaches
developed in different disciplines on shape and pattern formation.
Relying on the seminal works of D'Arcy Thompson, Alan Turing and
Rene Thom, it confronts major examples like plant growth and shape,
intra-cellular organization, evolution of living forms or motifs
generated by crystals. A book essential to understand universal
principles at work in the shapes and patterns surrounding us but
also to avoid spurious analogies.
