About This Item
New York: Sterling Publishing, 2005. Book. Fine. Hardcover. First Edition, First Printing.. Fine First Edition, First Printing in unworn dust jacket. Very clean white glossy boards with blind-stamped lettering, gorgeous image of a chambered nautilus on cover, blind-stamped lettering on spine. Binding is tight and square, hinges are sound, pages and edges are clean and bright. Clean blue-green endpapers - no names, writing or marks. Illustrated in full color. 203 pages with index. The Divine proportion is known by many names. Golden Mean, Sacret Cut and Phi are only a few. Begilnning with calculations found on clay tablets in ancient Babylon, the story of Divine Proportion can be traced alongside the history of numbers to the fractals of the digital age. At the intersection of two traditionally dueling fields--science and religion--the Divine Proportion connects patterns of growth with natural laws, mathematical expressions, and principles of artistic design. A fascinating book..
