This is a very attractive book looking at the geometry of nature and recognizing that there is a sacredness to it. There are patterns and shapes which reflect the beauty of the world. Many of mankind's greatest achievements, such as the Gothic architecture of cathedrals or the perspective and vanishing points in painting seem to come from a higher order. These are all worth taking in and appreciating. ( ) An introduction to some of the mathematical underpinnings of astronomy, music and architecture (including ancient sites) as well as the growth and development of living things. The explanations are as clear as they can be for readers without mathmatical training and are complemented by many coloured illustrations and diagrams. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A fascinating and inspirational look at the vital link between the hidden geometrical order of the universe, geometry in nature, and the geometry of the man-made world. The Da Vinci Code has awakened the public to the powerful and very ancient idea that religious truths and mathematical principles are intimately intertwined. Sacred Geometry offers an accessible way of understanding how that connection is revealed in nature and the arts. Over the centuries, temple builders have relied on magic numbers to shape sacred spaces, astronomers have used geometry to calculate holy seasons, and philosophers have observed the harmony of the universe in the numerical properties of music. By showing how the discoveries of mathematics are manifested over and over again in biology and physics, and how they have inspired the greatest works of art, this illuminating study reveals the universal principles that link us to the infinite.
