Why do seashells and galaxies share the same spiral? Why do myths across cultures echo the same archetypes? The Pattern Hunter: Discovering the Hidden Codes of Nature, Mind, and the Universe takes you on a captivating journey into the hidden order of existence. From fractals in ferns to sacred geometry in cathedrals, from DNA's four-letter script to the rhythms of music and myth, Pranav Pandya reveals how patterns shape the world we see, and the worlds we imagine. Written with clarity and lyricism, this book transforms complex ideas into a vivid exploration that is both scientifically grounded and spiritually moving. What makes this volume extraordinary are the 15 bespoke visual plates, created exclusively for this book. These richly detailed, colorful images are not illustrations of the chapters but meditations- windows into the spirals, symmetries, fractals, and archetypes that weave through nature and culture.
