Walker & Company is proud to launch Wooden Books, a series of concise, accessible introductions to timeless sciences and vanishing arts. Elegantly designed and written, printed on recycled paper, they are invaluable sources of information and inspiration.

Geometry is one of a group of special sciences -- Number, Music, and Cosmology are the others -- found in almost every culture on Earth. Sacred Geometry demonstrates what happens to space in two dimensions -- a subject last flowering in the art, science, and architecture of the Renaissance and seen in the designs of church windows, mosque decorations, Stonehenge, and the Great Pyramid. With exquisite hand-drawn images throughout showing the relationship between shapes, the patterns of coin circles, and the definition of the golden section, it will forever change the way you look at a triangle, hexagon, pentagon, arch, or spiral.
