Flowers are beautiful, offering us delight in their color, fragrance and form, as well as their medicinal benefits. Flowers also speak to us in the language of the plant form itself, as cultural symbols in different societies, and at the highest levels of inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this beautiful and original book, renowned thinker and geometrist Keith Critchlow has chosen to focus on an aspect of flowers that has received perhaps the least attention. This is the flower as teacher of symmetry and geometry (the 'eternal verities', as Plato called them). In this sense, he says, flowers can be treated as sources of remembering -- a way of recalling our own wholeness, as well as awakening our inner power of recognition and consciousness. What is evident in the geometry of the face of a flower can remind us of the geometry that underlies all existence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorking from his own flower photographs and with every geometric pattern hand-drawn, the author reviews the role of flowers within the perspective of our relationship with the natural world. His illuminating study is an attempt to re-engage the human spirit in its intimate relation with all nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith Critchlow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0863158064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780863158063\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Floris Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 8.20w x 1.40d","brand":"Keith Critchlow","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047029043455,"sku":"9780863158063","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4cb2d88-f085-4d71-b433-d188e63796c4.jpg?v=1684987864","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-hidden-geometry-of-flowers-keith-critchlow-9780863158063","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
