Wooden Books update - 3 more recommendations
I'm happy to report that I'm now the steward (thanks to a little holiday generosity from my favorite resident elf Happy 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.
