The Golden Section: Nature’s Greatest Secret (Wooden Books)
The Alchemist’s Kitchen: Extraordinary Potions & Curious Notions (Wooden Books)
Symmetry: The Ordering Principle (Wooden Books)
These three books in this series are small and lovely – they are described as small books with big ideas. They are all illustrated with old engravings as well as contemporary illustrations by the authors, they are relevant to designers and artists as well as scientists and are of interest equally to children as to adults. Symmetry: symmetry in nature – in design – in architecture – in science. The golden section: the most beautiful ratio in the universe – in nature – in maths – in DNA – in insects and fish – in music and art and philosophy. The alchemists kitchen: recipes of elixirs, balms and pigments, discussions on the occult and legends, ancient medicine and symbolic meanings.
A lovely series – for nature lovers, artists, designers and scientists and anyone else interested in beauty and history and legends.
