A GEOMETRIC FIELD GUIDE
Every shape in nature is a lesson in geometry. The hexagonal cells of a honeycomb are the most efficient space-filling structure possible. The logarithmic spiral of a nautilus shell follows a mathematical constant that appears in every sunflower head.
This field guide does not seek to categorize or classify. It seeks to notice. To observe that the angle between two leaves on a stem is almost always 137.5 degrees -- the golden angle -- and to wonder why the universe arranged it so.
