Description
Robert Lawlor explores the geometry that underlies the structure of the universe, revealing how ancient thinkers saw numbers as a key to understanding the divine. This book delves into the system that governs the dimension and form of both natural and man-made structures, from the intricate patterns of flowers to the architecture of Gothic cathedrals. Through practical experiments and accessible writing, Lawlor introduces the reader to fundamental principles, including the logarithmic spiral, the Golden Proportion, and the squaring of the circle. With over 200 illustrations and diagrams, this large-format paperback provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject.
