Branching in Nature : Dynamics and Morphogenesis of Branching Structures, from Cell to River Networks /
There is increasing evidence that branching processes in nature proceed by similar mechanisms in many seemingly different systems. This is the first comprehensive book dealing with this topic - it encompasses all fields of science, investigating branching morphogenesis and pattern formation in cells...
