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 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 the
other ubiquitous ratios and proportions.
