Sacred Geometry (Wooden Books)

I also really like the way the book is put together, lush textured paper (recycled I note) and quality illustrations. The way the subject is built up stage by stage until we reach the more complex set pieces at the back is very good. It helps you understand the basics of good design, and the use of geometry in this process.

I think the new-age overtones work very well too. She manages to convey some of the real mystery and magic of the field while never losing sight of the practical purpose of it all.

Highly recommended.

This splendid little book is suitable for all ages to introduce them to the wonder of high architecture and interior design. Very simple explanations and illustrations show how the basic patterns of nature echo in human consciousness in what has been conceived in the mind and wrought by the hands over the centuries. Highly recommend for artists and draftsmen as well who wish to research or emulate classical ideas for themselves.

Clear explanations and exercises that invite the reader to try for themselves. Numberphiles and numberphobes alike will find much in this book that delights. Note that this is but one in a growing series -- "Useful Mathematical & Physical Formulae" and "Sun, Moon & earth" are two others. After I read "geometry" and "formulae" I put them on my reference shelf, and catch myself taking them down frequently, not only for the information they contain, but as a pleasant mind-tickling break from my usual work. Can't wait to see what titles arrive next! -Paul Saffo

This is a delightful little book.If you have any interest in Geometry,Math,Design,Shapes,Tile patterns,Puzzles,etc.you'll really enjoy this book.Surprisingly ,you can grasp most of this book knowing high school math,;while at the same time those with more math knowledge will also enjoy it as well.I guess it falls right in the realm of Mathematical Recreations.I am amazed that the author has put together a beautifully writen book,including 168 drawings,figures,diagrams and on top of that shows how most are constructed.All this has been accomplished in 64 pages ,including an introduction.

This little book, Sacred Geometry, is not only magical and straightforward in its substance, but is a visual delight. It reminds and further inspires to realize the connectedness of all of life and our part in it. It helps me, also, as an artist, to remember the basic forms that resonate in all of creation. This is not only a good book to give as a gift, but is a good one to have on your own bookshelf.
