Swirl by Swirl: Spirals in Nature by Joyce Sidman

5.0

Wow, what a splendid book. The perfect child-level marriage of science and aesthetics. Also, the scratchboard-style illustrations are stunning. I especially like the search-and-find aspect of this book; there are little spirals hidden everywhere. A great introduction to certain biological and mathematical principles (hibernation, defense mechanisms, geometry and the Fibonacci sequence) through the wonder of patterns and shapes.
