From the Publisher:The patterns on the shells of tropical sea snails are not only compellingly beautiful but also tell a tale of biological development. The decorative patterns are records of their own genesis, which follows laws like those of dune formation. Hans Meinhardt has analyzed the dynamical processes that form these patterns and retraced them faithfully in computer simulations. An accompanying diskette with the corresponding algorithms offers wide scope to those with a PC to try their hand at simulating and varying the patterns. The enlarged edition includes a new chapter showing that the models proposed for shell patterning can also account for other important processes in development. The formation of organizing regions and embryonic axes and the initiation of leaves serve as examples.
