From the reviews: "The current book may be a good start to explore the subject. There are some 20 relatively short papers presenting different possible angles, approaches, and models for many different aspects of morphogenetic phenomena. The seeds for these papers were planted during a workshop on the subject at the IHES in Bures-sur-Yvette (France) in 2010. The idea of this workshop was precisely to create an environment in which biologists and mathematicians could communicate on this particular subject." (A. Bultheel, The European Mathematical Society, December, 2012)
