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

Part of Oxford's stunning Nature's Patterns trilogy, this volume explores the geometry woven through the natural world—from honeycomb hexagons to the spirals of shells and galaxies. It's visual science writing at its finest, where mathematics meets wonder. Beautifully illustrated and accessibly written, it reveals why nature favours certain forms and how physics, chemistry, and biology conspire to create pattern. Perfect for curious minds who love when science illuminates the everyday world around us.
