Review: Nice drawings, could have covered more - The title "Nature's secret code revealed" got me excited. The rave reviews seemed to justify my excitement. I thought this would be the book to show my child the myriad ways in which Fibonacci numbers crop up in the most unexpected of places in nature. I have to say that my expectations were satisfied only partially. The authors have focussed on one aspect of Fibonacci numbers and showed how that manifests in nature. Many others could have been covered. The focus on just one feature takes away the fun to a large extent. The book is well intentioned and the drawings are beautiful. It is just that so much more could have been done. In contrast, "Blockhead" does a better job. There, the drawings have Fibonacci features hidden in them which an interested parent can show to his child.
