Reviews
Synopsis
This profusely illustrated book takes an astonishing look at the natural patterns of sea shells and the means by which they can be reproduced using computer simulations. Completely revised, and including new material on pattern formation in the development of high-level organisms, this book and disk package will allow readers to re-create fascinating natural and artificial patterns. 120 illus.

Synopsis
Mathematical models and advanced computer-generated images are used to explain and illustrate structural growth patterns of seashells in nature. This fascinating and beautifully illustrated book conveys the intuitive appeal and the "touch of magic" that accompany the current research. A diskette, packaged with the book, contains the algorithms and simulations necessary to replicate the results. 150 illustrations. --This text refers to the hardcover edition of of this title
