Book Synopsis Divine Proportion by : Priya Hemenway
Download or read book Divine Proportion written by Priya Hemenway and published by Sterling Publishing Company Incorporated. This book was released on 2005 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number Phi, simply defined, is one plus the square root of five, all divided by two. But its myriad occurrences in art, nature, and science have been a source of speculation and wonder for thousands of years. Divine Proportion draws upon both religion and science to tell the story of Phi and to explore its manifestations in such diverse places as the structure of the inner ear, the spiral of a hurricane, the majesty of the Parthenon, and the elusive perfection of the Mona Lisa. A universal key to harmony, regeneration, and balance, Phi is at the heart of a tantalizing story begun on clay tablets in ancient Babylon, and which will continue to be written for centuries to come.
Book Synopsis The Divine Proportions of Luca Pacioli by : W.A.W. Parker
Download or read book The Divine Proportions of Luca Pacioli written by W.A.W. Parker and published by Barbera Foundation. This book was released on with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luca Pacioli stood beside the great Leonardo da Vinci and gazed at The Last Supper. He saw immediately that something was terribly wrong. An orphan from a small town in Italy, Pacioli came of age during the Renaissance seemingly destined for a life of struggle and obscurity. But Pacioli had the good fortune of meeting mentors who recognized his uncanny ability with numbers and introduced him to renowned artists and philosophers, royalty, and popes. At a time when many still used Roman numerals and colleges didn’t even teach mathematics, Pacioli was determined to share his passion and make it accessible and understandable. Apprentice to an artist, but a terrible artist himself, he became a master at calculating mathematical perspective in paintings. Tasked with teaching mathematics with no textbook, he wrote his own—followed by books on double-entry bookkeeping, chess, and the divine proportion. In this way, Luca Pacioli, “the father of accounting,” still has something to teach us—not just about mathematics—but about how we account for setbacks in our lives and how we determine what our legacy will be.
Book Synopsis Divine, Golden, Ingenious by : Lieselotte Kugler
Download or read book Divine, Golden, Ingenious written by Lieselotte Kugler and published by Hirmer Verlag GmbH. This book was released on 2016 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does a mystic, divine formula lie behind everything that is beautiful? For centuries the golden mean has been a subject of endless fascination. The ratio of the proportion can be seen in Nature; it runs through artistic design processes and it affects our perception of our surroundings. But how much of this apparent 'world formula' is true, and how much of it is myth? The history of the golden mean begins with Euclid in the 3rd century BC. But it was only in the 19th century that it was raised to the universal constant of beauty. From this point onwards the 'golden section' was described in flora and fauna; the famous Fibonacci number. It determines the growth of the pineapple; and Le Corbusier optimised architecture by means of the Modulor. But does this art-historical phenomenon really play a universal role in the organisation of our world? Authors from all fields analyse the Golden Mean with regard to function, demonstrability and relevance, also by means of current examples from art and design as well as in comparison with the DIN and the tatami measurement.

Book Synopsis The Forehead and Temporal Fossa by : David M. Knize
Download or read book The Forehead and Temporal Fossa written by David M. Knize and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 2001 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a superbly illustrated guide to the anatomy of the forehead and temporal fossa and to the three major foreheadplasty techniques practiced today. The first section is a detailed anatomic atlas that the surgeon can use to plan an operative procedure. The second section is a "how-to-do-it" description and demonstration of foreheadplasty techniques--limited incision, endoscopic, and open--correlating the surgical anatomy with the gross and endoscopic anatomy presented in the first part of the book. 294 full-color drawings and photographs present a true-to-life view of the anatomic structures as they are seen during a surgical procedure.
Book Synopsis Cultivating Sacred Space by : Elizabeth Murray
Download or read book Cultivating Sacred Space written by Elizabeth Murray and published by Pomegranate. This book was released on 1997 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Linda Greenlaw hadn't been blue-water fishing for ten years, since the great events chronicled in The Perfect Storm and The Hungry Ocean, when an old friend offered her the captaincy on his boat, Seahawk, for a season of swordfishing. She took the bait, of course, and thus opened a new chapter in a life that had already seen enough adventure for three lifetimes.The Seahawk turns out to be the rustiest of buckets, with sprung, busted, and ancient equipment guaranteed to fail at any critical moment. Life is never dull out on the Grand Banks, and no one is better at capturing the flavor and details of the wild ride that is swordfishing, from the technical complexities of longline fishing and the nuances of reading the weather and waves to the sheer beauty of the open water. The trip is full of surprises, "a bit hardier and saltier than I had hoped for," but none more unexpected than when the boat's lines inadvertently drift across the Canadian border and she lands in jail. Seaworthy is about nature -- human and other; about learning what you can control and what you do when fate takes matters out of your control. It's about how a middle-aged woman who sets a high bar for herself copes with challenge and change and frustration, about the struggle to succeed or fail on your own terms, and above all, about learning how to find your true self when you're caught between land and sea.

Book Synopsis Mystifying Square, Divine Proportions - Nature's Black Box by : Pauline Novak-Reich
Download or read book Mystifying Square, Divine Proportions - Nature's Black Box written by Pauline Novak-Reich and published by Pauline Reich. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume traces W.D. Gann's "Time Factor" and "Law of Vibration" back to the Chaldeans of 3000 BCE Sumer whose principal aspiration was to understand the motion of time. They divided time into years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes and seconds and devised calendars which helped them predict, and therefore survive, their two rivers' ravaging floods. Inadvertently, their findings also solved the mystery behind the ups and down of money markets. From ancient Sumer to Egypt, ancient China to the native peoples of Central and North America, civilisations unlikely to have had contact with each other built remarkably similar monuments according to geometrical proportions designed to embody cosmic knowledge that would last for all time. Each deciphered time cycles, created calendars and made long term projections of natural phenomena. The Square-of-9 is a matrix embodying nature's cosmic clock. Pauline Novak-Reich takes the reader through ancient math, sacred geometry and lore demonstrating the extraordinary achievements of people who lived in tandem with nature. Each one of these civilisations discovered Nature's "Black Box." Gann often reiterated that: "Everything in existence is based on exact proportion and perfect relationship. There is no chance in nature; because mathematical principles of the highest order lie at the foundation of all things...Vibration is fundamental: nothing is exempt from this law. It is universal, therefore applicable to every class of phenomena on the globe."
