Patterns in Nature

Summary

"Patterns in Nature" reveals the hidden mathematical order underlying the natural world. It explores recurring motifs like fractals, Fibonacci sequences, and symmetry in diverse phenomena, from seashells to galaxies.

 
Did you know that fractals demonstrate self-similarity, meaning complex shapes are built from simple, repeating patterns at different scales? Or that the Fibonacci sequence, where each number is the sum of the two preceding ones, appears in plant structures and even spiral galaxies?

 
The book progresses by first introducing these core concepts with clear examples. It then dedicates chapters to specific natural phenomena, such as fractals in landscapes and Fibonacci sequences in plant arrangements. Symmetry is explored in the animal kingdom. This approach makes complex ideas accessible, showing how mathematics is a fundamental language of nature, informing fields like biomimicry and ecological modeling.

By the last chapter, you know your island and your plan. Press play, and start choosing.

Florentyna begins a new job as a tour guide, taking tourists on elaborate and expensive trips around Kyoto's cultural hotspots.

Meanwhile, her relationship with her new companion develops an intensity as they live and work together. Their little kitchen, the epicenter of their shared life, overlooks a community garden dominated by a fruitful persimmon tree. Their relationship burns bright, but seasons change, the persimmon tree out back loses its fruit, and things grow strange between the two women.

Uses for Obsession - A Chef's...

Ben Shewry

An intimate, searing and hopeful memoir meets manifesto that reframes the way we think about restaurants, cooking, hospitality, leadership and humanity from one of the most respected chefs in the world.

Chef and restaurateur Ben Shewry knows obsession well. Whether it's crispy-edged lasagne, saltwater crocodile ribs or the perfect potato, obsession is what motivates him and what makes him tick. It's also what has propelled his Melbourne restaurant Attica into the league of the most innovative, acclaimed dining experiences in the world, and one of the most vital in Australian history.

In this absorbing and wide-ranging memoir meets manifesto, Shewry applies his sometimes searing, sometimes comic eye to creative freedom in the kitchen, food journalism, sexism in hospitality, the fraud of the farm-to-table sustainability ethos, the cult of the chef, cooking as muse and the legendary Family Bolognese.

Raised on a farm in a close-knit rural New Zealand family, he shares how a childhood surrounded by nature and a reverence for First People's cultures has influenced his work, the values he lives by, and the meticulous, inventive multi-course menu that is synonymous with Attica. Uses for Obsession also tells the intimate, desperate story of how Attica survived 262 days with an empty dining room. How, during a time of epic hospitality transformation, it morphed into a takeaway food business, a merch shop and a summer camp. He was told it couldn't be done and that doubt both tortured and drove him.

At its heart, this is a positive story, an antidote to the macho chef culture that thrives on old ideas about leadership and success. Shewry prosecutes the compelling case for a new way forward. A bold blueprint for the restaurant - and workplace - of the future. One built on kindness, community, truth and a commitment to never giving up.
