Sinossi

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.

    A lively and engaging account of one human's relationship with a remarkable and charming orphaned beaver kit.On May 10, 2020, an orphaned beaver kit was found in St. Albans, Vermont and handed over to John Aberth, a licensed volunteer wildlife rehabilitator. Over the next two years, John raised the kit, whom he nicknamed "BK," and prepared him for release back into the wild. During that time, John and BK developed a special and unique bond, which John documented in a daily diary. That diary became the basis for Bringing Up Beaver, a lively and engaging account of one human's relationship with a wild animal.Bringing Up Beaver is more than just a feel-good story about human encounters with nature. Full of fascinating observations about beaver behavior and biology, Bringing Up Beaver also documents the unique challenges and obstacles to be faced and overcome in rehabbing a wild beaver kit. Populating the story are plenty of other wild creatures that John encountered in the course of his rehab, including other beavers—one of whom became BK's mate—as well as hawks, owls, mink, and weasels. For anyone who has been charmed by a beaver's smile or enjoyed books like Fox and I and Eager, Bringing Up Beaver is a must-listen that will give us a new perspective on the wildlife and nature that exists all around us.
