Vortex of Life Nature`s Patterns in Space And Time [PB,2006]

by Lawrence Edwards

When The Vortex of Life was first published in 1993, Lawrence Edwards' pioneering work on bud shapes had already attracted the attention of many scientists around the world. In the book, Edwards gave a fuller account of his research, widening it to include the forms of plants, embryos, and organs such as the heart. His work suggests that there are universal laws, not yet fully understood, that guide an organism's growth into predetermined patterns. His work has profound implications for those working in genetics and stem cell research. After Edwards died in 2004 at the age of 92, Graham Calderwood edited and revised this classic work.
