书目名称 | Morphogenesis | 副标题 | Origins of Patterns | 编辑 | Paul Bourgine,Annick Lesne | 视频video | | 概述 | Covers all aspects of morphology: crystal growth, development of biological patterns, development of cities, development of the universe.Integrates materials science, physics and biology.Provides many | 图书封面 |  | 描述 | 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 René 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. | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | 关键词 | Collective phenomena; Embryogenesis in biology; Inorganic and organic morphogenesis; Pattern formation; | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-13174-5 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-42374-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-642-13174-5 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2011 |
