Synopsis
This book is a full exploration of organic structures in animals, with a focus on the shells in crustaceans and mollusks. The author argues that the complex structures seen in the natural world can be replicated artificially through chemical and mechanical processes that are amenable to systematic study and analysis. Moreover, the author asserts that these processes are consistent with those seen in nature and are not dependent on vital forces to explain their creation. This challenges the widespread idea that biology is fundamentally distinct from chemistry and physics. Ultimately, the author provides a new perspective on the formation and character of these complex structures, opening up new avenues of research and understanding.
