Il est l'auteur de On Growth and Form (1917, révisée en 1942) traduit en français sous le titre Forme et croissance, qui fit de lui le premier biomathématicien. Il a notamment montré qu'on pouvait passer d'une forme d'une espèce à la forme d'une espèce proche par certaines transformations géométriques. - La thèse centrale de On Growth and Form est que les biologistes du début du xxe siècle ont surestimé le rôle de lÉvolution (en insistant sur la sélection naturelle) et ont sous-estimé le rôle de la physique et de la mécanique dans la constitution des formes et des structures des organismes vivants. Dans ce livre, D'Arcy Thompson indique un certain nombre d'exemples de corrélation entre des formes biologiques et des phénomènes mécaniques. Il montre une similarité entre les formes de méduses et les formes de gouttes de liquide tombant dans un fluide visqueux, et entre les structures internes des os creux d'oiseaux et les lignes d'égale tension dans les poutres. Il retrouve dans la phyllotaxie (les relations numériques entre des structures en spirale dans les plantes) une séquence particulière, la suite de Fibonacci. « DArcy Thomson sefforça de réduire les expressions les plus diverses à des modèles génériques communs. Il croyait que les modèles de base eux-mêmes possédaient une sorte dimmuabilité platonique en tant que conceptions idéales, et que les formes des organismes pouvaient ne comporter quun ensemble de variations imprimées par ces modèles. Il élabora une théorie coordonnées transformées pour décrire ces variations comme lexpression dun modèle unique qui subissait des étirements et des déformations divers.» Absolument sui generis, ce livre ne cadre presque jamais avec le courant dominant de la pensée biologique. Il ne présente aucune réelle découverte centrale, et dans la plupart des cas n'essaie même pas d'établir une relation causale entre les formes ayant une origine physique et les formes analogues observées en biologie. Ce travail se situe dans une tradition descriptive. Thompson n'a pas articulé ses intuitions sous la forme d'hypothèses expérimentales pouvant être mises à l'épreuve. Il en était conscient, affirmant : « Mon livre a à peine besoin de préface, pour la raison qu'il est tout entier une préface du début à la fin. » « Penseur subtil, DArcy Thomson comprit que le fait dinsister sur la diversité ou sur lunité nengendre pas des théories biologiques différentes, mais des styles esthétiques qui influencent profondément la pratique de la science. » Long, bien écrit et enrichi de nombreuses illustrations, On Growth and Form devait enthousiasmer et influencer des générations de biologistes, architectes, artistes et mathématiciens. Claude Lévi-Strauss affirma que la notion de transformation, qu'il utilisait dans ses travaux d'anthropologie structurale, ne venait pas tant de la linguistique ou de la logique que de la biologie de D'Arcy Thompson.

Deze publicatie brengt het verhaal van een meubelbedrijf uit Deinze dat vooral in de jaren 1950 en 1960 succes kende. V-Form profileerde zich met ontwerpen die eenvoud, functionaliteit en betaalbaarheid vooropstelden en werkte daarvoor samen met veelbelovende ontwerpers als Romain Van Assche, Emiel Veranneman en Pieter De Bruyne. De auteurs bouwden het verhaal op aan de hand van getuigenissen en niet eerder gepubliceerde documenten uit het archief van V-Form. Ze tonen aan dat je uit designarchieven vaak interessante en verrassende informatie kan putten en willen op die manier het bewaren van archieven die verband houden met design aanmoedigen. Tegelijk illustreren de folders, catalogi en foto?? s van V-Form de tijdsgeest van de fifties tot de seventies. Ze geven een amusant beeld van de wooncultuur, de smaken en de reclameboodschappen van toen. V-Form, een pionier van het moderne meubel is een realisatie van Designarchief Vlaanderen, het Design museum Gent en de vzw Designcentrum Vlaanderen. Nieuw boek.

Summary What did the body mean for inhabitants of the medieval Norse-speaking world? How was the physical body viewed? Where did the boundary lie between corporality and the psychological or spiritual aspects of humanity? And how did such an understanding tie in with popular literary motifs such as shape-shifting? This monograph seeks to engage with these questions by offering the first focused work to delineate a space for ideas about the body within the Old Norse world. The connections between emotions and bodily changes are examined through discussion of the physical manifestations of emotion (tiredness, changes in facial colour, swelling), while the author offers a detailed analysis of the Old Norse term hamr, a word that could variously mean shape, form, and appearance, but also character. Attention is also paid to changes of physical form linked to flight and battle ecstasy, as well as to magical shapeshifting. Through this approach, diametrically different ways of thinking about the connection between body and soul can be found, and the argument made that within the Old Norse world, concepts of change within the body rested along a spectrum that ranged from the purely physical through to the psychological. In doing so, this volume offers a broader understanding of what physicality and spirituality might have meant in the Middle Ages. TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgements Introduction.
