The Sand Dollar and the Slide Rule

Drawing Blueprints from Nature, why some patterns such as logarithmic spirals, repeat, and a tribute to trees from an engineering point of view. “A good introduction to a new science in the making.” Kirkus Reviews “Charming and adroit. Dusty facts sparkle in their new juxtaposition.” The Washington Times “Willis navigates through dozens of connections with ease, as she cut her teeth as a science journalist and isn’t bashful about imparting an endearing sense of wonder.” Booklist “A fascinating and uncategorizable book that will delight readers.” Library Journal
