Beschreibung

D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson's 'On Growth and Form' is a groundbreaking exploration of the relationship between biological forms and the mathematical principles underlying their growth. Published in 1917, this work melds scientific observation with eloquent prose, revealing how organisms develop according to natural laws that can be expressed mathematically. Thompson's intricate analysis transcends traditional biology by blending the depths of morphology, physics, and the theory of evolution, all while embracing a vivid, illustrative style that captivates readers. Thompson, a pioneering biologist and mathematician, was profoundly influenced by the early 20th-century intellectual climate, including the burgeoning fields of both biology and mathematics. His academic journey encompassed studies in natural history and classical languages, which instilled in him an appreciation for the beauty of nature as a mathematical construct. This background informed his innovative perspectives on how organisms are shaped by and respond to their environments, elevating the discussion of biology into a realm that intersected art and science. 'On Growth and Form' is highly recommended for anyone fascinated by the intersection of art and science, and for readers eager to deepen their understanding of the natural world. Thompson's insights remain remarkably relevant, bridging a century of scientific thought to contemporary discussions in evolutionary biology and biomathematics.

    Identity Theft, Second Edition is an update to the award-winning book that follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson’s journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson and Zuckerman focus on the less frequently documented – but equally critical – emotional journey as she and her family rebuild identity in recovery. The second edition adds perspective from an additional five years of continued recovery and rebuilding their lives, including insights from the work of the nonprofit they co-founded – Stroke Onward. Virtually every stroke survivor is haunted by questions like “Who am I now?” and “How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?” after losing so much of what they had before—capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. The first edition centered on Debra’s experience: her stroke in 2010, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlighted how every stroke is different and every recovery is different. The new content in this second edition was written by Debra and her spouse, Steve Zuckerman. They co-founded the nonprofit Stroke Onward to build an organization that can catalyze change in the healthcare system to better integrate the emotional journey of rebuilding identity into a lifelong recovery process. They’ve added new insights about the long-term recovery process and how we can change the stroke system of care to better support all survivors and their families.
