The stripes of a zebra...the complexities of a spider's web...the waves of the ocean...and the shape of a snowflake. These and other natural patterns have been recognized by scientists for centuries. What do they have in common? They can all be accounted for mathematically.In What Shape is a Snowflake? internationally acclaimed mathematician Ian Stewart shows how life on earth develops not simply from genetic processes, but also from the principles of mathematics. Starting with the simplest symmetrical patterns, each chapter looks at a different kind of patterning system and the key scientific issues that underlie it. Patterns can embrace chaos, fractals, dislocations, even statistical regularities, and are found in many things that at first seem irregular or featurless. A constant wind blowing over a flat expanse of sand, for example will develop ripples, which eventually lead to sand dunes that are often arranged in long parallel rows or other geometric forms. And the smooth surface of a growing organism will develop beautiful patterns, of spots, stripes and colors.Beautifully illustrated, What Shape is a Snowflake? is an illuminating and engaging vision of how the apparently cold laws of mathematics find organic expression in the beauty of nature.

Thank you for reading Bede's World, the second of my trilogy of books about Bede of Monkwearmouth/Jarrow. The first book, Bede's Well, introduced you to the idea of a fictional account of the boyhood of St. Bede. Little is known of his actual boyhood, so I used literacy licence to imagine what could have happened. Although I did a little research, I did say that my story would contain anachronisms, or events which could not have possibly happened, because they are out with the time line of his life or possibly refer to things which had not yet been discovered.This new book looks at Bede's life as a youth, or teenager, and contains references which may or may not have taken place. It focuses more on Monkwearmouth, as both it and Jarrow jealously claim Bede as their own. I think both places were equally important in his life. I have imagined that Bede travelled to Rome. We know that both Benet and Ceolfrith made numerous journeys to Rome from Monkwearmouth, so why not Bede too?Once again I have tried to use challenging vocabulary and I have examined issues which I feel early medieval Christians would have faced. Like the first book I have included biblical stories, as they become relevant to the individual characters.
