Description
SPRINGER Molecular Geometry Of Body Pattern In Birds by LIMA-DE-FARIA A
After having read this book you will never see birds in the same way again.
The unexpected patterns displayed by a bird's body have been seen as bizarre events that demanded little attention or were described as `amazing curiosities'.
None of these surprising features seem to be fortuitous. They appear to be an integral part of a rigid order and a coherent geometry, which is directed by simple gene interactions and molecular cascades occurring at various cellular levels, and at different times, during the organism's development.
A novel geometry unfolds in front of your eyes, giving the body configurations another meaning.
