Trade Paperback. Throughout history, thinkers from mathematicians to theologians have pondered the mysterious relationship between numbers and the nature of reality. In this fascinating book, Mario Livio tells the tale of a number at the heart of that phi , or 1.6180339887.This curious mathematical relationship, widely known as "The Golden Ratio," was discovered by Euclid more than two thousand years ago because of its crucial role in the construction of the pentagram, to which magical properties had been attributed. Since then it has shown a propensity to appear in the most astonishing variety of places, from mollusk shells, sunflower florets, and rose petals to the shape of the galaxy. Psychological studies have investigated whether the Golden Ratio is the most aesthetically pleasing proportion extant, and it has been asserted that the creators of the Pyramids and the Parthenon employed it. It is believed to feature in works of art from Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa to Salvador Dali's The Sacrament of the Last Supper , and poets and composers have used it in their works. It has even been found to be connected to the behavior of the stock market!The Golden Ratio is a captivating journey through art and architecture, botany and biology, physics and mathematics. It tells the human story of numerous phi-fixated individuals, including the followers of Pythagoras who believed that this proportion revealed the hand of God; astronomer Johannes Kepler, who saw phi as the greatest treasure of geometry; such Renaissance thinkers as mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci of Pisa; and such masters of the modern world as Goethe, Cezanne, Bartok, and physicist Roger Penrose. Wherever his quest for the meaning of phi takes him, Mario Livio reveals the world as a place where order, beauty, and eternal mystery will always coexist.You're invited to explore my profile, where you can browse through a selection of several other books at your pleasure.

In a strong, suspenseful narrative Peter Tompkins recreates the adventures and explorations of the archeologists, treasure~hunters, soldiers, scientists, and eccentrics who have tunnelled into and studied the Pyramid over many centuries. He analyzes the various theories as to how and Why the Pyramid was built, its relation to other structures of antiquity, including Stonehenge, the ziggurats of Babylon, and other pyramids; and its influence on the fields of astronomy, astrology and the occult, geodesy, and history. The culmination is his fascinating presentation of the controversial theory that the Great Pyramid was constructed as a highly sophisticated scientific instrument, an exact scale model of the Northern Hemisphere, by an Egyptian culture far more advanced than is generally believed to have existed. This theory demonstrates, in addition, that the Pyramid incorporated the basic formulae of the universe, and Was designed to help man orient himself in the cosmos and to apply finite measurements to time, space, and the seasons. There is an appendix by Professor Livio Catullo Stecchini entitled "Notes on the Relations of Ancient Measures to the Great Pyramid," and a Glossary, Bibliography, and Index.…
