Product Description
Sacred Geometry demonstrates what happens to space in two dimensions - a subject last flowering in the art, science and architecture of the Renaissance and seen in the designs of Stonehenge, mosque decorations and church windows. With exquisite hand-drawn images throughout showing the relationship between shapes, the patterns of coin circles, and the definition of the golden section, it will forever alter the way in which you look at a triangle, hexagon, arch, or spiral.

An elegant and eloquent introduction to sacred geometry
I had the pleasure of meeting the brilliant and witty author of this book in 2004. :-) This book, like all the Wooden Books series is a gem in and of itself, and combined with others in the series, weaves wonderful contextual insights about the mystical underpinnings of nature, expressed in form, number and dynamic shape. This book has concentrated many useful and fascinating observations about what has become known as sacred geometry into an exquisite little package, with meticulous illustrations. Highly recommended!

Short
This book is only 58 pages long so expect to have read it during breakfast , Im not sure about it, some interesting elements and ideas on tiling and how to draw a dodecagon but as I said its a very short book so is nothing more than a cursory glance , hopefully one day a project with come up where I can use some of the ideas in this book . Its cheap and I guess you get what you pay for , reminds me a bit of a black and white catalouge or something. It could be good for someone who just wants to get a basic cheap idea of what sacred geometry is with a handful of diagrams thrown in , on that front it does deliver but remember 58 pages. less than a time magazine..
The art of sacred geometry
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.
