On Growth and Form

---

On Growth and Form is a seminal interdisciplinary work that explores the mathematical and physical principles underlying biological growth and morphology. Thompson applies concepts from physics, geometry, and engineering to explain the shapes and structures of living organisms, challenging purely evolutionary explanations by emphasizing the role of physical laws in biological form. The second edition significantly expands the original 1917 work, incorporating new examples, illustrations, and theoretical insights, and remains highly influential in fields such as developmental biology, biomathematics, and theoretical biology
