Book Reviews of A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe: Mathematical Archetypes of Nature, Art, and Science

Book Review: A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe (1995)
Summary: 5 Stars

I am very much in agreement with all the positive reviews of this text. I love the concrete and abstract illustrations for each of the numbers 1 through 10, and the quotations from famous writers and researchers can't be beat. There are many, many in-depth insights regarding numbers so that you come away feeling that you have mastered the esoteric aspects of numerology. The pervasive activity of numbers in our lives cannot be ignored. This is one book you will take with you to the cafe over and over again.
