Preview from the original source by Zubin Khabazi (hosted by McNeel)

Overview

This McNeel-hosted zip contains the free Generative Algorithms v2.0 book by Zubin Khabazi plus its 13 companion Grasshopper definitions, GA_1 Parametric Tower through GA_13 Jenga Project, with two .3dm files; no Rhino version is stated. The definitions cover curve evolution, surface population, attractors, paper strips, contouring for fabrication, projection and nesting, NURBS and mesh surfaces, panelization, responsive modulation and a Galapagos fitness function, using no plugins beyond the built-in Galapagos.

The zip is a free direct download from the McNeel file server via the grasshopper3d.com tutorials page; the 2012-era files may show old-component warnings. A classic teaching set.
