An acclaimed geometer explores the fundamental connections between space, time, and life that have not yet been fully understood. 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 patternsof thirty six pairs of planets and moons. Wooden Books was founded in 1999 by designer John Martineau near Hay-on-Wye. The aim was to produce a beautiful series of recycled books based on the classical philosophies, arts and sciences. Using the Beatrix Potter formula of text facing picture pages, and old-styles fonts, along with hand-drawn illustrations and 19th century engravings, the books are designed not to date. Small but stuffed with information. Eco friendly and educational. Big ideas in a tiny space. There are over 1,000,000Wooden Books now in print worldwide and growing.… (plus d'informations)

A really interesting book that notes mathematical patterns in the orbit of bodies in our solar system. Quite the interesting little book for anyone who likes patterns like this. I was really fascinated by the number of connections to the Golden Mean in the relation of Venus, Mercury and Earth. ( )

MacBeth Derham recommends this book as, "The solar system is God's Spirograph, and this secular little book demonstrates the mathematical beauty of a created universe without trying; there are no coincedences."

A new look at an old subject, the application of geometry to cosmology and some speculations about what used to be called "the music of the spheres". "Is there a secret structure hidden in the Solar System?" asks the blurb-writer. Anyone who isn't convinced that current science has the answer to everything might well ask the same question after reading this. ( )
