Piccola guida all'osservazione della creatività dell'universo
Federica Buglioni; Luogo Comune (illustr.)
TopiPittori
Also available in Turkish & Chinese
A place without patterns is like a sky without clouds, or like a field of un ouched snow. It's a
perfectly smooth surface: a rare thing. Everywhere in nature, uniformity is interrupted by stripes,
spots, nets, branches and rings: patterns that depend on forces such as gravity or heat and unfold
at a regular pace.
Federica Buglioni invites readers to observe the forms of nature in order to understand their
functioning, and illustrations by Luogo Comune show the visual codes of our marvellous universe.
Cambiare
Trasformismi, metamorfosi, migrazioni nel regno animale
ISBN: 978-8833701820
Federica Buglioni; Francesca Ballarini (illustr.)
TopiPittori
Life is first and foremost transformation. In the rivers, there wouldn’t be freshwater fish, if they
weren’t able to change the salinity of their bodies. We wouldn’t have many animal species that we
know nowadays without moulting and metamorphosis. Federica Buglioni and Francesca Ballarini
lead us to discover that transformation is a gateway to the animal kingdom. In this journey, we’ll
meet jellyfish that are not born and do not die, fish able to change sex, spiders that can change
colour. We will also explore the neoteny, the impressive attempt to never change and remain
young forever. Finally, we will discover that humans also have a very special way of changing and
transforming themselves: our culture.
