Shapes: Nature’s Patterns – A Tapestry in Three Parts
By Philip Ball
Oxford University Press 320pp £14.99 order from our bookshop
A decade ago, Philip Ball published a book entitled The Self-Made Tapestry, which explored why the patterns that recur in the natural world are not coincidental. This volume is the first in a three-part expanded version, but it is a much more difficult read.
