Branches: Nature's Patterns: A Tapestry in Three Parts

Coming from a non-science perspective, it was really interesting to read about the way science works, all the people involved over many decades - centuries, even - in figuring out this stuff. Asking questions that wouldn't even occur to me. I was mostly interested in branching forms in terms of my artwork, and this book has given me many new ways to think about the f Fascinating.
