幾何、數字、音樂和宇宙學是最古老的四門學問，它們是基本共通語言的基礎，且幾乎可以在每個已知文化中發現它們的蹤跡。《典雅的幾何》正是這四門學問的縮影，在談論二維形狀與三維立體的同時，也揭露出這些古老學問之間的關連。 三角形、拱形、六角形及螺旋形雖隨處可見，卻蘊含著極大的學問，從瓷磚、教堂窗戶到偉大的金字塔，這些建築設計高度展現了幾何之美。圓球是五種柏拉圖立體和十三種阿基米得立體的基礎，這十八種立體不僅構成建材形狀，也是化學和原子物理的核心。自古至今，這些立體賦予了任何對科學、設計和數學感興趣的人源源不絕的靈感！

A fascinating and inspirational look at the vital link between the hidden geometrical order of the universe, geometry in nature, and the geometry of the man-made world."The Da Vinci Code" has awakened the public to the powerful and very ancient idea that religious truths and mathematical principles are intimately intertwined. "Sacred Geometry" offers an accessible way of unders...(展开全部)

Geometry is one of a group of special sciences - Number, Music and Cosmology are the others - found identically in nearly every culture on earth. In this small volume, Miranda Lundy presents a unique introduction to this most ancient and timeless of universal sciences."Sacred Geometry" demonstrates what happens to space in two dimensions - a subject last flowering in the art, s...(展开全部)

在《典雅的几何》里，罗列了二维几何的元素，也就是数在平面上的呈现；《典雅的几何》所属系列中的另一本书讲的则是三维几何的故事。的确，每当有人提到形而上学时，总会提到这些内容，而几何就像音乐一样，是“真实”的影子，既明亮又清晰的影子。

This graduate textbook designed for students in physics, chemistry and materials science provides a modern treatment of the theory of solids dealing with the physics of electron and phonon states in crystals and how they determine the structure and properties of solids. The first part of the book deals with electrons and atoms in a crystal, and the second part extends the disc...(展开全部)

Translation of La violence et le sacré.

"His fascinating and ambitious book provides a fully developed theory of violence as the `heart and secret soul' of the sacred. Girard's fertile, combative mind links myth to prophetic writing, primitive religions to classical tragedy."--Victor Brombert, 'Chronicle of Higher Education.'
