Appartiene alle SerieNature's Patterns (book 1)
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.

"Appendices" handler om "1. Soap-film structures", "2. Oscillating chemical reactions", "3. Chemical waves in the BZ reaction", "4. Liesegang bands", dvs kemiske reaktioner, der kan bølge frem og tilbage.
"Bibliography" handler om tæt på to hundrede bøger og artikler til videre studier.
"Index" er et ganske nyttigt opslagsregister. Man skal dog vide at BZ reaktionen i uforkortet stand hedder Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaktionen, hvis man vil slå den op.
Glimrende bog til at inspirere på tværs af kemi, fysik og biologi. (
