The ten basic paper engineering mechanisms shown in this book have an almost explosive quality. Each 'up-pop' folds flat, but when it is eased out of its envelope, or restraining sleeve, it suddenly and unexpectedly jumps into a 3-dimensional shape. This element of surprize is most attractive and suggests all kinds of imaginative designs. The motive power for each mechanism is provided by a single elastic rubber band. With each example there are useful notes about the mechanisms and suggestions for the further development of the ideas to create original designs.

This review is from: Up-Pops: Paper Engineering With Elastic Bands (Paperback)
I failed Solid Geometry in high school, but now thanks to this book I've been lured back into 3-D mathematics and art. This is a great book that even has an ingenious system for storing your samples in a readily available holder for future reference. Try twelve sided up-pops to make gift calendars for the millenium!
