With hand-drawn woodcut-style images, this primer on three-dimensional space takes the reader on a journey into the world of the regular solids, with reference to Plato, Kepler and other famous figures from history who were obsessed with these forms. With detailed appendices, this is a book for specialists and amateurs alike.
What sort of things happen when space crystallises? Why were primordial sages fascinated with five simple forms? Does the three-dimensional jigsaw fit simply together? If so how? Find out about one of the languages spoken throughout the universe! An understanding of the Platonic Solids, and their close cousins, the Archimedean Solids has long been required of students seeking entry into ancient wizdom schools.
