内容説明

With forwards by Buckminster Fuller and H.S.M. Coxeter, Forms of Space provides an approach to geometry that uses graphics and scientific concepts as learning tools for the study of both man and nature. Learning through visual experience is achieved by the ingenious use of complex color illustrations. The book shows how polyhedra and polytopes can be used to investigate and describe the mancro, medio and micro worlds (or the multidimensional worlds) without recourse to telescope or microscope. In addition, the book touches on the works of Plato, Kepler, Fuller, Descartes, Einstein and various oriental and near eastern schools of thought.
