Li: Dynamic Form in Nature (Mathemagical Ancient Wizdom)

What I like abut these little booklets are that they try to make available some fascinating new aspects of science and art for people who would simply not look at anything which investigates these aspects in any depth.This is a little book on Li, meaning a relation between pattern and principle so that Li means a "dynamic formation" or really something which has been captured as it is being created. It seems to be a kind of interaction between form and energy.Each two page section briefly describes something of interest which demonstrates Li and the opposing page shows these aspects in photographs. Consider for example the following: nerve cell branching, bacterial growth patterns, surface patterns in convection cells, vascular cell structures in plants, stress cracks in drying mud.A wonderful little book which may even lead to real advances in science or art. For that alone this set of booklets are gems.

A nicely presented book, with some nice images. However there is almost no substance. The book is very small and is rather expensive for so little content. It is almost as if the author scanned some information from wikipedia and photoshopped images found online to suit the style of the book.A minor issue on quality, some of the pages hadn't been cut properly at the opening corner.

This is less of a treatise on geometry or physics as it focuses on the patterns that are not mathematically exact or perfectly symmetrical, but nonetheless universal, as each of them occurs on different scales and in different ways. Another beautiful and thought provoking book by "Wooden Books".

I bought this book for myself as I am a creative and artistic person and I loved every page. I have not heard of the word LI before and wonder what the character in Chinese would be?

I don't rate books that i still haven't read!!So the stars are mainly for what i already know about the author and the quality of the book and delivery!

This series of books is lovely, very informative and inspiring. If you love the patterns of nature, this is a great book to add to your collection.

Nice books

very happy with the service you provide. solid.
