内容简介
In this book Denis Weaire and Tomaso Aste recount many stories which have to do with packing things together. The examples range through mathematics, physics, biology and engineering; they include the arrangement of soap bubbles in a foam, atoms in a crystal, the architecture of the bee's honeycomb, and the structure of the Giant's Causeway.
