Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This lavishly illustrated text represents the publication of a theory of biological self-organization based on the discovery of a unique geometric configuration with the property to generate the shape of all animal and plant form.

The theory of biological self-organization maintains that body form results from patterns arising in living tissue due to simple mechanical forces rather than by genomic code; the genes are responsible only for individual traits.

About the Author
Stuart Pivar has pursued a career of physics, mathematics, chemical and mechanical engineering. This book is the result of a ten-year study of morphology and evolution with the help of an large private library of rare books and an extensive collection of natural history items
