A Series of Books on Universal Patterns and Relationships
published by Wooden Books

A wonderful introduction to sacred geometry, the intricate patterns of the planetary motions, geomysticism and esoteric wisdom, this beautiful series of nine books is published in the UK under the imprint of "Wooden Books." Released in the States as compact hardcover editions, these little gems pack an incredible amount of information into a small format with one page of text and one page of illustration per topic! (See sample spread)

Covering a vast landscape in a playful and unintimidating style they are perfect complements to the more weighty Cymatics book and Power of Limits. In the words of publisher John Martineau, these books are dedicated "To people who have tragically grown up in a world devoid of a magical cosmology." Like the arcane medieval texts they draw from, this series revels in the mystery of life's infinite unfolding, while revealing the hidden artistry implicit within the complexity of the cosmos.

There are currently 9 titles in this series (with more to come!). They are available individually ($10 each) or you may order any 9 for $90 or you may order any 6 for $50. Please remember to calculate the shipping charges for each item. For example, if ordering the set, please calculate shipping charges as nine items.

Essential Elements by Matt Tweed

A compact volume of mathematical and physical formulae presented in a concise manner for general use. Collected in this book are commonly used formulae for studies such as quadratics, calculus and trigonometry; in addition are simplified explanations of Newton's Laws of Gravity and Snell's Laws of Refraction.

A glossary, a table of mathematical and physical constants, and a listing of Imperial and Metric conversions is also included.

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.

Geometry is one of a group of special sciences - Number, Music and Cosmology are the others - found identically in nearly every culture on earth. In this small volume, Miranda Lundy presents a unique introduction to this most ancient and timeless of universal sciences.

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 Stonehenge, mosque decorations and church windows. 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 alter the way in which you look at a triangle, hexagon, arch, or spiral.

Miranda Lundy is a designer and artist. She lives and works in Cornwall, England.

Sun, Moon, & Earth
by Robin Heath

Every organism on Earth responds to four major cycles: the solar and lunar day, the synodic month and the year. We all dance to these primary rhythms. This book reveals the poetic cosmology that lies within the cycles of the Sun and Moon as seen from the Earth.

Experience the uniquely connected universe that Robin Heath presents; solstices, eclipses and equinoxes all concisely described and illustrated. The timeless beauty of our universe has never been more apparent or intriguingly simple.

Author and illustrator Robin Heath is a mathematician and engineer.

Whereas Sacred Geometry introduced readers to two-dimensional forms, Platonic & Archimedean Solids presents the world of three dimensions, which was understood as early as neolithic time. Daud Sutton elegantly explores the eighteen forms—from the cube to the octahedron and icosidodecahedron—that are the universal building blocks of three-dimensional space, and shows the fascinating relationships between them. For anyone interested in design, architecture, and mathematics, this will be a delight.

Stonehenge
by Robin Heath

Once part of a large culture of stone circles, Stonehenge—built around 3000 B.C. and developed over the next 1,500 years—is the most famous. The remains of a once-wealthy and evidently learned tribal community, it reflects the apparently disparate subjects of archaeology, astronomy, metrology, sacred geometry, and even shamanism. How were eclipses predicted at Stonehenge? Why were some stones brought all the way from Wales? What is the secret geometry of seven eights? These and many other questions are answered—and Stonehenge's secrets revealed—in this fascinating small book.

Architect David Wade has spent a lifetime gathering and organising the extraordinary families of surface patterns that nature throws up at every scale. The study of these shapes was known in ancient China as Li, and was the sister science to Feng Shui. It is a subject virtually unknown in the West. In this delightful book, illustrated to a phenomenally high standard by the author, we see branching patterns, animal spots, crack patterns and much much more.

• Sand and wave patterns
• Big cat markings
• Branching types
• Bark and leaf designs
• Soap and marbling swirls
• An introduction to phylotaxis, the often five-fold structure of growing plant forms
• Speckle families
• Maze-like structures
• Crystaline and rock forms
• Appendix of animal markings

This is a truly exciting, unusual and fascinating book, and to our knowledge the first time this subject has ever been presented. It will appeal to scientists and artists alike and has far-reaching applications in graphic design, architecture and other visual arts and sciences. This is the first Wooden Book to deal solely with irregular forms, and brings an enticing and enigmatic new edge to the series.

Format: Hardcover; Price: $10.00; 58 pages
