The Self-Made Tapestry: Pattern Formation in Nature
Philip Ball
Why do similar patterns appear in nature in settings that seem to bear no relation to one another? Nature commonly weaves its tapestry by self-organization, employing no master plan or blueprint but by simple, local interactions between its component parts and gives rise to spontaneous patterns. This book tells how nature's patterns are made.
