- Summary
- It is the purpose of this book to document the unity of natural things, their interdependence, and their similarity; to show the beauty of the living functional form; perhaps to foreshadow the ultimate findings of science -- a simple universal plan; and to make you feel related to the rocks and the plants and the animals -- you, an integral part of nature, a part of the universe. - Foreword.
