An acclaimed geometer explores the fundamental connections between
space, time, and life that have not yet been fully understood.
A most unusual guide to the solar system, A Little Book of Coincidence
suggests that there may be fundamental relationships between space,
time, and life that have not yet been fully understood. From the
observations of Ptolemy and Kepler to the Harmony of the Spheres and the
hidden structure of the solar system, John Martineau reveals the
exquisite orbital patterns of the planets and the mathematical
relationships that govern them. A table shows the relative measurements
of each planet in eighteen categories, and three pages show the
beautiful dance patterns of thirty six pairs of planets and moons.
Wooden Books was founded in 1999 by designer John Martineau near
Hay-on-Wye. The aim was to produce a beautiful series of recycled books
based on the classical philosophies, arts and sciences. Using the
Beatrix Potter formula of text facing picture pages, and old-styles
fonts, along with hand-drawn illustrations and 19th century engravings,
the books are designed not to date. Small but stuffed with information.
Eco friendly and educational. Big ideas in a tiny space. There are over
1,000,000 Wooden Books now in print worldwide and growing.
