Why do living things and physical phenomena take the form they do? D'Arcy Thompson's classic On Growth and Form looks at the way things grow and the shapes they take. Analysing biological processes in their mathematical and physical aspects, this historic work, first published in 1917, has also become renowned for the sheer poetry of its descriptions.

Sir D'Arcy W. Thompson CB FRS FRSE (1860-1948) was a Scottish biologist, mathematician, and classics scholar. A pioneering mathematical biologist, he is mainly remembered as the author of ON GROWTH AND FORM, an influential work of striking originality and elegance. The central theme of ON GROWTH AND FORM is that biologists of its author's day overemphasized evolution as the fun...(展开全部)

Classic of biology and modern science sets forth seminal "theory of transformation" -- that one species evolves into another not by successive minor changes in individual body parts but by large-scale transformations involving the body as a whole. Rich literary style. Over 500 photographs and drawings. Index.

迈克尔?斯彭斯（Michael Spence，1943- ）2001年诺贝尔经济学奖得主。美国斯坦福大学商学院研究生院前任院长和现任名誉院长。2001年，与乔治?阿克洛夫、约瑟夫?斯蒂格利茨共同获得诺贝尔经济学奖。 迈克尔?斯彭斯最重要的研究成果是市场中具有信息优势的个体为了避免与逆向选择相关的一些问题的发生，如何能够将其信息“信号”可信地传递给在信息上具有劣势的个体。他随后的研究包括拓展这一理论和证实不同市场信号重要性的大量应用性研究。

• Does leadership affect economic growth and development? • Is leadership an exogenous determinant or an endogenous outcome of growth and development processes? Can we differentiate between the two? • Do leaders’ decisions and actions vary in importance over various stages in the process, at least in successful cases? • How important is choosing the right economic model? • To w...(展开全部)
