Zusammenfassung: | Patterns are everywhere in nature--in the ranks of clouds in the sky, the stripes of an angelfish, the arrangement of petals in flowers. Where does this order and regularity come from? As Philip Ball reveals in Nature's Patterns: A Tapestry in Three Parts, this order creates itself. The patterns we see come from self-organization. Indeed, scientists have found that there is a pattern-forming tendency inherent in the basic structure and processes of nature, whether living or non-living, so that from a few simple themes, and the repetition of simple rules, endless beautiful variations can arise. |

of an angelfish, the arrangement of petals in flowers. Where does this order and regularity come from? As Philip Ball reveals in Nature's Patterns: A Tapestry in Three Parts, this order creates itself. The patterns we see come from self-organization. Indeed, scientists have found that there is a pattern-forming tendency inherent in the basic structure and processes of nature, whether living or non-living, so that from a few simple themes, and the repetition of simple rules, endless beautiful variations can arise.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="588" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Print version record.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="546" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">English.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Pattern formation (Biology)</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh91001250</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Pattern formation (Physical sciences)</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99003331</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="0"><subfield code="a">Chaotic behavior in systems.</subfield><subfield code="0">http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85022562</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Formation des modèles (Biologie)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Formation des structures (Sciences physiques)</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="6"><subfield code="a">Chaos.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Essays.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Nanoscience.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">SCIENCE</subfield><subfield code="x">Reference.</subfield><subfield code="2">bisacsh</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Chaotic behavior in systems</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Pattern formation (Biology)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="650" ind1=" " ind2="7"><subfield code="a">Pattern formation (Physical sciences)</subfield><subfield code="2">fast</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="776" ind1="0" ind2="8"><subfield code="i">Print version:</subfield><subfield code="a">Ball, Philip, 1962-</subfield><subfield code="t">Nature's patterns.</subfield><subfield code="d">Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2009</subfield><subfield code="z">9780199237968</subfield><subfield code="w">(DLC) 2009280579</subfield><subfield code="w">(OCoLC)180470082</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="856" ind1="4" ind2="0"><subfield code="l">FWS01</subfield><subfield code="p">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield><subfield code="q">FWS_PDA_EBA</subfield><subfield code="u">https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=283156</subfield><subfield code="3">Volltext</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ProQuest Ebook Central</subfield><subfield code="b">EBLB</subfield><subfield code="n">EBL453582</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">EBSCOhost</subfield><subfield code="b">EBSC</subfield><subfield code="n">283156</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Internet Archive</subfield><subfield code="b">INAR</subfield><subfield code="n">naturespatternst0000ball</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">3151534</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="938" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">YBP Library Services</subfield><subfield code="b">YANK</subfield><subfield code="n">3093543</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="994" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">92</subfield><subfield code="b">GEBAY</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="912" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">ZDB-4-EBA</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="049" ind1=" " ind2=" "><subfield code="a">DE-863</subfield></datafield></record></collection> |

Shapes Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, ©2009. 1 online resource (308 pages, 8 unnumbered pages of plates) : illustrations (some color) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier data file "Nature's patterns is a trilogy composed of Shapes, Flow, and Branches." Includes bibliographical references (pages 295-301) and index. The shapes of things : pattern and form -- Lessons of the beehive : building with bubbles -- Making waves : stripes in a test tube -- Written on the body : hiding, warning, and mimicking -- Rhythms of the wild : crustal communities -- How does your garden grow? : the mathematics of a daisy -- Unfolding the embryo : the formation of body plans. Patterns are everywhere in nature--in the ranks of clouds in the sky, the stripes of an angelfish, the arrangement of petals in flowers. Where does this order and regularity come from? As Philip Ball reveals in Nature's Patterns: A Tapestry in Three Parts, this order creates itself. The patterns we see come from self-organization. Indeed, scientists have found that there is a pattern-forming tendency inherent in the basic structure and processes of nature, whether living or non-living, so that from a few simple themes, and the repetition of simple rules, endless beautiful variations can arise.
