Purchase options and add-ons

An introduction to the geometry which, as modern science now confirms, underlies the structure of the universe.

The thinkers of ancient Egypt, Greece and India recognized that numbers governed much of what they saw in their world and hence provided an approach to its divine creator. Robert Lawlor sets out the system that determines the dimension and the form of both man-made and natural structures, from Gothic cathedrals to flowers, from music to the human body. By also involving the reader in practical experiments, he leads with ease from simple principles to a grasp of the logarithmic spiral, the Golden Proportion, the squaring of the circle and other ubiquitous ratios and proportions.

Art and Imagination: These large-format, gloriously-illustrated paperbacks cover Eastern and Western religion and philosophy, including myth and magic, alchemy and astrology. The distinguished authors bring a wealth of knowledge, visionary thinking and accessible writing to each intriguing subject. 202 illustrations and diagrams, 56 in two colors

Useful resource

Interesting resource on sacred geometry with examples from architecture and nature. The book also has a fair amount of mathematical equations along with the fine illustrations.

Newer edition without the classic cover

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a newer edition with the same text and visuals inside but lacks the classic cover of earlier editions. This book is a helpful companion to exploring natural symbology and mathematic underpinnings of some of the foundational architecture and design work in classical humanities. Buy the older edition if you want this to show off, but this edition has the same interior text.

I SEEK THE TRUTH!

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

Holy cheet....mind blown. Only downside is, I could only understand half this book. But it was an awesome half. If you're really gifted in math, you can understand it all. I also had no interest in drawing the sacred geometry it guides you to, but its cool they teach you how to do it. The philosophy, history, and the math(that I could understand) of whats discussed in this book are pretty mind blowing in my opinion. For sure a good buy. Highly recommend.

Praise for Sacred Geometry

Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2011

Verified Purchase

Sacred Geometry was a text for the New Chartres School sponsored by Wisdom University in Chartres, France July 3-9.
The book illuminated most of the geometrically related information which we experienced hands-on in our class with
Richard Henry, British Geometrist. Richard led in making multi-dimensional shapes from point to dodecahydron and
beyond! These forms were described and attributed historically, illustrated and defined for construction in the
book which is comprehensive for understanding, making and looking at geometry relationally. It is an essential
asset in the study of Geometry. I love this book and will share it with friends new to its information.

Absolutely well crafted book on this subject!

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2002

Verified Purchase

I have been looking for a good book on this subject and this one does not disappoint one bit! The author goes through step by step from the simple concepts to the complex complete with many illustrations and even excercises so that you can experience the "magic" of geometry yourself. I could not imagine getting the same level of understanding from a book without all the diagrams to see the relationships. More of a workbook than a text book, but packed with information and history. I would rate this as an essential book for anyone's library who is interested in understanding religious symbols, architecture, mathematics, and the beauty of the creation we find ourselves in.

Great book

Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

Having become interested in Sacred Geometry, I came across this work book and feel it's beneficial to anyone trying to understand geometry on a higher level. If I had this book in High School or College for my geometry classes, I would have gotten A's. I gained deep understanding from the workbook's clear pictures and easy to understand examples from art, nature, architecture and numerology. Practicing sacred geometry has helped me understand the world we live in and find meaning everywhere.

Very interesting introduction in sacred geometry:.

Reviewed in Germany on November 10, 2013

Verified Purchase

The magazine shaped (work)book gives a simple and logic explanation and good explanation of sacred geometry. It explains step by step and in an comprehensive way the geometry and the mathematical proportions of genesis and tranlates it into arquitectonical geometry in buildings.

For those who are interested in a quick but profound understanding of sacred geometry, this is your book.
