Have u checked out "Growth and Form" by "D'arcy Thompson (methinks)?I've heard of Thompson (in passing, don't know where), but not the title.
Just checked Amazon. I may have to put this on my Christmas list (if it's readable). Here's a quote:
"English biologist Sir Peter Medawar called Thompson's tome "beyond comparison the finest work of literature in all the annals of science that have been recorded in the English tongue."
Reader reviews are quite favorable. Thanks for the note.

Try and get the original version, not the edited one.
I have always been interested in this subject.
Correction: the title is "On growth and form." 'Pod
