几个世纪以来，探寻多细胞生物的生长与发育一直是极具吸引力的研究课题之一。近年来，借助数学模型和计算机模拟，科学家们发现了似乎能够描述生物生长、繁殖以及对外界因素做出反应的动态过程的算法模式与模型。在本书中，Hans Meinhardt 利用贝壳来解释并展示自然界中的结构生长模式。其成果是一部引人入胜、插图精美的著作，传达出直观的吸引力与

好书，我有一本第一版。它还有一本算得上是直接续作的书我也收了，叫汉斯·迈因哈特（Hans Meinhardt）写的《贝壳的算法之美》（The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells，Springer-Verlag 1995），里面同样全都是 L-system 的干货。Przemysław Prusinkiewicz 也是那本书的撰稿人之一，不过因为不属于植物学范畴，所以没出现在书单里……
Great book, I have a first edition. There is a fairly direct successor I also have called The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells by Hans Meinhardt (Springer-Verlog 1995) which is also full of L-system goodness. Przemysław Prusinkiewicz is also a contributor to that volume, although not being botany it doesn’t show up in the list…
……呈现方式、文笔和插图都绝了。这本绝对必入——完美展示了把数学、自然科学、计算、艺术和设计融为一体能搞出什么名堂。- 《贝壳的算法之美》（The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells）——这本也特别棒。如果你好奇过贝壳怎么能长出近乎完美的棋盘格图案之类的，看这本书准没错。强烈推荐。- 《海藻的算法之美》（The Algorithmic Beauty of Seaweeds）……
…presented, the prose and illustrations are wonderful. This one is a must have - a beautiful example of what can be accomplished when mixing math, natural sciences, computation, art, and design. - The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells - this one is very good too. If you've wondered how sea shells can have almost perfect checkerboard patterns and so on, this is the book for you. Highly recommended. - The Algorithmic Beauty of Seaweeds,…
还有一本《海藻、海绵与珊瑚的算法之美》（The Algorithmic Beauty of Seaweeds, Sponges and Corals）(https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-662-04339-4)，以及我个人在这个系列中最喜欢的《贝壳的算法之美》（The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea shells）(https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-540-92142-4)。我去年读后面这本读得非常过瘾，因为它循序渐进铺垫得特别好。读到最后，我觉得自己不仅理解了……
There is also "The Algorithmic Beauty of Seaweeds, Sponges and Corals" (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-662-04339-4), and, my personal favorite in the series, "The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea shells" (https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-540-92142-4). I really enjoyed reading the latter last year, because it does a great job slowly building up. By the end, I felt like I didn't just understand…
我书架上就有这本，就放在《贝壳的算法之美》（The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells）和《分形图像的科学》（The Science of Fractal Images）旁边。希望能有更多像这样的老书能免费或者便宜出数字版。
I've got this on my bookshelf right next to "The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells" and "The Science Fractal Images". Hope more old books like this get digital releases for free/modest cost.
