In mathematics, a spiral is a curve which emanates from a central point, getting progressively farther away as it revolves around the point. Spirals are everywhere and involve all human thought and physical structure. From cutting edge quantum physics to ancient architecture here you will discover the role that Spirals play in our lives. The spiral is the age-old intuitive symbol of spiritual development and our identity with the Universe. It is found in cultures the world over and reflected in shamanism, serpent cults, dragon lore, geomancy, magic, mysticism, ritual art and dance throughout history.

The acclaimed science writer “curates a visually striking, riotously colorful photographic display…of physical patterns in the natural world” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Though at first glance the natural world may appear overwhelming in its diversity and complexity, there are regularities running through it, from the hexagons of a honeycomb to the spirals of a seashell and the branching veins of a leaf. Revealing the order at the foundation of the seemingly chaotic natural world, Patterns in Nature explores not only the math and science but also the beauty and artistry behind nature’s awe-inspiring designs. Unlike the patterns we create, natural patterns are formed spontaneously from the forces that act in the physical world. Very often the same types of pattern and form—such as spirals, stripes, branches, and fractals—recur in places that seem to have nothing in common, as when the markings of a zebra mimic the ripples in windblown sand. But many of these patterns can be described using the same mathematical and physical principles, giving a surprising unity to the kaleidoscope of the natural world. Richly illustrated with 250 color photographs and anchored by accessible and insightful chapters by esteemed science writer Philip Ball, Patterns in Nature reveals the organization at work in vast and ancient forests, powerful rivers, massing clouds, and coastlines carved out by the sea. By exploring similarities such as the branches of a tree and those of a river network, this spectacular visual tour conveys the wonder, beauty, and richness of natural pattern formation.

This richly illustrated book explores the fascinating and ubiquitous occurrence of spirals and vortices in human culture and in nature. Spiral forms have been used as elements in the arts for thousands of years, whereas their role in nature and science – from DNA and sea shells to galaxies – is still a topic of investigation in numerous fields. Following an introduction to the cultural history of spiral forms, the book presents contributions from leading experts, who describe the origins, mechanisms and dynamics of spirals and vortices in their special fields. As a whole the book provides a valuable source of information, while also taking the reader on an aesthetic and scientific journey through the world of spiral forms.

Spiral patterns seem to be omnipresent in the universe. We can see this pattern in the rotation curves of galaxies, the shape and spin of hurricanes, cyclones and whirlpools. Nature seems to have a special affinity for the spiral pattern - it is encoded into things as diverse as sea shells, pinecones, plant tendrils, the skeletons of animals. Spirals can be observed in the arrangement of seeds on a sunflower head, the structure of human lungs, the DNA double helix and avian flight patterns. Spirals abound throughout both organic and inorganic kingdoms, revealing themselves in the structure of matter and flow of energy, in the patterns of growth, rhythms, social systems and economics. So why is our universe pervaded by spirals? I once read a Discover magazine article that pondered this same question only to conclude that the phenomenon is more likely a coincidence than some underlying property of the universe. The Grand Pattern that Connects endeavors to show the exact opposite. The spiral pattern exemplifies a universal law, a numerical sequence that is embedded in the cosmos. However, this book goes beyond the famous Fibonacci numbers, making a case for an inceptive template of wholeness that is inherent in the topology of space-time itself, affecting the universe as a whole and keeping everything in order. It is this template that is responsible for the interconnected nature of all phenomena in the universe. As Gregory Bateson would say, it is "the pattern which connects the orchid to the primrose and the dolphin to the whale and all four to me." The book details how the Spiral template creates wholes within larger wholes, systems within systems, and with each undulation of the spiral forms constellations of ever increasing complexity. The book addresses the spiral dynamics of social systems, the deeper origins of the drive for altruism, the symbiotic sharing of space and information that lead to the emergence of complex adaptive intelligences and much more. The Grand Pattern that Connects strives to integrate mystical insights with the current scientific understanding of the physics of the spiral and would be recommended to all those who are perplexed by the Spiral's enigma and are driven to learn more about this phenomenon.

"It appears to us that the universe is structured in a deeply mathematical way. Falling bodies fall with predictable accelerations. Eclipses can be accurately forecast centuries in advance. Nuclear power plants generate electricity according to well-known formulas. But those examples are the tip of the iceberg. In Nature's Numbers, Ian Stewart presents many more, each charming in its own way.. Stewart admirably captures compelling and accessible mathematical ideas along with the pleasure of thinking of them. He writes with clarity and precision. Those who enjoy this sort of thing will love this book."—Los Angeles Times
