I'm happy to report that I'm now the steward (thanks
to a little holiday generosity from my favorite
resident elf
of three more books in the
highly-recommended Wooden Books series which I'm
eager to read cover to cover. I've created a new
book category here. The Wooden Books are all
exquisitely illustrated. I have calendars and
artwork (e.g. prints, cards, apparel) here
inspired by the profoundly simple and accurate
geometric planetary models in John Martineau's
"A Little Book of Coincidence". Other favorites
include: Sacred Geometry, and Sacred Number
(both by the reclusive Miranda Lundy), Platonic
& Archimedean Solids by Daud Sutton,
Harmonograph by Anthony Ashton, Stonehenge, and
Sun, Moon & Earth (both by Robin Heath),
Essential Elements by Matt Tweed, The Human Body
by Moff Betts, and Q.E.D. (Beauty In
Mathematical Proof) by Burkard Polster. Based on
my experience with the superb inspiration and
craftsmanship of these books, I would not
hesitate to recommend any other titles in this
series. If you are a home-schooler, math or
geometry teacher, or just appreciate the beauty
and mystery of creation, any of these books
would be a fine addition to your library.
