Product Description
Book Description
What was the great and golden secret known to Leonardo Da Vinci, Kepler, Plato and the ancient magicians? Why were they forbidden to reveal it? Can there really be a key to nature and life itself?
In this small but compact volume, divine proportion supersleuth Dr Olsen unravels perhaps the greatest mystery of all time, a code that seems to underlie life, the universe and everything, a pattern we instinctively recognise as beautiful, and which nature herself uses at every scale.

I ordered this book on the recommendation of a friend/colleague. The book arrived speedily, in excellent condition and is interesting and informative. At last I finally understand the Golden Section -as someone who is not a natural mathematician that's no mean feat!

Well done wooden books - you've done it again....
As with all the wooden books i've purchased so far these little friends are excellent. Well designed, well written, informative, conscise, beautifully illustrated, WHAT GEMS !
'The Golden Section' covers the fibonacci sequence, growth, natural form, pi, sacred geometry, architecture, the golden mean and a whole lot more. Nicely written with practical tips and a wealth of information on the subject, and as with all wooden books the illustrations are both excellent and usefull.
These little books are a resource for the whole family to enjoy and learn through !
HIGHLY RECOMENDED :)

I found this series of books recently and am in the process of buying them all, one by one. So far I have not been disappointed. This one is as good as expected - lots of info in a sweet little book. The information is not too simple, it could push you if you don't know much maths but all the info is presented in such a good manner it will be a very pleasant experience. Totally 100% recommended.

Pity about the small diagrams
For a book with such a small page size the print is adequately clear but the many detailed illustrations are too small.

impressed!
This book is very comprehensive as far as the golden section is concerned and very nice printed with very nice pictoric examples of where and how it has been used. Read more
