SENSITIVE CHAOS: THE CREATION OF FLOWING FORMS IN WATER AND AIR

by Theodor Schwenk

Published by Rudolf Steiner. 2019

Slightly better than very good condition. Second Edition, revised. In this seminal and thought-provoking work, the laws apparent in the subtle patterns of water in movement are shown to be the same as those perceptible in the shaping of bones, muscles and a myriad of other forms in nature. Fully illustrated, Sensitive Chaos reveals the unifying forces that underlie all living things. Pictorial cardwraps. B/w illustrations. 144 pages plus 87 pages of illustrations.

Reprint. Covers are clean. Blue pen mark to top edge of text block, not affecting contents. A nice copy.
