Why do similar patterns appear in nature in settings that seem to bear no relation to one another? Nature commonly weaves its tapestry by self-organization, employing no master plan or blueprint but by simple, local interactions between its component parts and gives rise to spontaneous patterns. This book tells how nature's patterns are made.
