' One of the delights of life is the discovery...of patterns of order and beauty in nature--the designs revealed by slicing through a head of cabbage or an orange, the forms of shells and butterfly wings. These images are awesome not just for their beauty alone, but because theys uggest an order underlying their growth, a harmony existing in nature. What does it mean that such an order exists; how far does it extend?'
