Zusammenfassung: | Why do living things and physical phenomena take the form they do? D'Arcy Thompson's classic On Growth and Form looks at the way things grow and the shapes they take. Analysing biological processes in their mathematical and physical aspects, this historic work, first published in 1917, has also become renowned for the sheer poetry of its descriptions. A great scientist sensitive to the fascinations and beauty of the natural world tells of jumping fleas and slipper limpets; of buds and seeds; of bees' cells and rain drops; of the potter's thumb and the spider's web; of a film of soap and a bubble of oil; of a splash of a pebble in a pond. D'Arcy Thompson's writing, hailed as 'good literature as well as good science; a discourse on science as though it were a humanity', is now made available for a wider readership, with a foreword by one of today's great populisers of science, explaining the importance of the work for a new generation of readers |

Analysing biological processes in their mathematical and physical aspects, this historic work, first published in 1917, has also become renowned for the sheer poetry of its descriptions. A great scientist sensitive to the fascinations and beauty of the natural world tells of jumping fleas and slipper limpets; of buds and seeds; of bees' cells and rain drops; of the potter's thumb and the spider's web; of a film of soap and a bubble of oil; of a splash of a pebble in a pond. D'Arcy Thompson's writing, hailed as 'good literature as well as good science; a discourse on science as though it were a humanity', is now made available for a wider readership, with a foreword by one of today's great populisers of science, explaining the importance of the work for a new generation of readers Geschichte 1917 gnd rswk-swf Growth Morphology (Animals) Zellwachstum (DE-588)4190674-3 gnd rswk-swf Morphologie Biologie (DE-588)4407742-7 gnd rswk-swf Form (DE-588)4154987-9 gnd rswk-swf Cytologie (DE-588)4070177-3 gnd rswk-swf Ästhetik (DE-588)4000626-8 gnd rswk-swf Künstlerische Form (DE-588)4125693-1 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4135952-5 Quelle gnd-content Cytologie (DE-588)4070177-3 s Form (DE-588)4154987-9 s Zellwachstum (DE-588)4190674-3 s 2\p DE-604 Morphologie Biologie (DE-588)4407742-7 s Geschichte 1917 z 3\p DE-604 Künstlerische Form (DE-588)4125693-1 s Ästhetik (DE-588)4000626-8 s 4\p DE-604 Bonner, John Tyler Sonstige oth Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-43776-9 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9781107325852 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
