Book Synopsis
This text provides background and steps in defining geometric parameters for organic form in order to generate a spectrum of other possible forms. It also addresses simulation of actual processes of morphogenesis, aiming to attain a nuanced comprehension of how evolutionary processes work.

Trade Review
In his excellent book Theoretical Morphology: The Concept and Its Applications, George McGhee provides an admirable introduction to the complex theoretical landscape surrounding the exploration of possible biological form...an enthusiastic and scholarly summary of an exciting new scientific discipline. -- James MacLaurin, University of Otago Biology and Philosophy
