Part One -- Cultural History -- Appearance in Nature -- Arts and Beyond -- Part Two -- Spirals, their Types and Peculiarities -- Acoustic Spirals: Analysis of Bach's prelude in C major -- Part Three -- Liesegang Rings, Spirals and Helices -- Generation of Spirals in Excitable Media -- Chemical Oscillations and SpiralWaves -- Shedding Light on Chaos - Controlling Surface Reactions -- Part Four -- SpiralWaves of the Chemo-attractant cAMP Organise Multicellular Development in the Social Amoebae Dictyostelium discoideum -- SpiralWaves in the Heart -- Patterns and Humans -- Yet More Spirals -- Part Five -- Reaction-diffusion Patterns and Waves: From Chemical Reactions to Cardiac Arrhythmias -- A Lattice-gas Cellular Automaton Model for Discrete Excitable Media -- Kinematics of SpiralWaves in Excitable Media.

This richly illustrated book explores the fascinating and ubiquitous occurrence of spirals and vortices in human culture and in nature. Spiral forms have been used as elements in the arts for thousands of years, whereas their role in nature and science - from DNA and sea shells to galaxies - is still a topic of investigation in numerous fields. Following an introduction to the cultural history of spiral forms, the book presents contributions from leading experts, who describe the origins, mechanisms and dynamics of spirals and vortices in their special fields. As a whole the book provides a valuable source of information, while also taking the reader on an aesthetic and scientific journey through the world of spiral forms.
