How are patterns and shapes formed in nature? Recent breakthroughs mean we have a good understanding of the molecules involved in development, but not how these molecules are organised and coordinated. Harrison's interdisciplinary perspective on the development of biological form provides a valuable perspective on current quantitative and systems biology.
Development of the shapes of living organisms and their parts is a field of science in which there are no generally accepted theoretical principles. What form these principles are likely to take is a subject in which there is a wide gulf of disagreement between physical scientists and biologists. This book contains both an extensive philosophical commentary on this dichotomy.
