Perfect for professionals interested in design, mathematics, and cultural history, this concise volume offers authoritative insights and inspiring visuals, making ancient wisdom accessible for the modern mind. ## Description Throughout their long history the craft traditions of the Islamic world evolved a multitude of styles applied to a great variety of media but always with unifying factors that make them instantly recognizable. Harmony is central. There are two key aspects to the visual structure of Islamic design, calligraphy using Arabic script-one of the world's great calligraphic traditions-and abstract ornamentation using a varied but remarkably integrated visual language. This art of pure ornament revolves around two central themes; crystalline geometric patterns, the harmonic and symmetrical subdivision of the plane giving rise to intricately interwoven designs that speak of infinity and the omnipresent center; and idealized plant form, spiraling tendrils, leaves, buds and flowers embodying organic life and rhythm. 1. WIDE APPEAL: Anyone interested in science, mathematics, design, architecture, and the natural world. 2. AUTHORITATIVE: A compelling blend of scholarship and visual presentation, packs an enormous amount of information into a short space. 3. BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE: A bargain at $10.00. Winner of First Prize for Nonfiction at the New York Book Show 4. SERIES PURPOSE: All are aimed at bringing ancient wisdom forward into the 21st century. 5. INSPIRING : The perfect entrée into a challenging topic; will inspire other reading. Review: This is a great little book and I am giving it 5 stars - This is a great little book and I am giving it 5 stars. The info in it is fantastic and I'm still going through it. But I feel the need to mention that it is much smaller than I expected. The first two Wooden Books I had are Quadrivium and Designa. Those two are very thick books. So I expected the same with this one, but it is much thinner and I have to admit I was a bit dissapointed when I first received it in the mail. However, I'm still giving it 5 starts as the info is great and the book is exactly as it was described. The issue was with my expectation. Review: Islamic Design - a wonderful history lesson into design and origin - This is a book I bought which is part of a series of books on design and geometrics. I really loved this one, which it's many designs and appreciate the intricacy of their detail and intention. If you like design and are interested in the detail behind it. This is for you. I have purchased a total of 5 books in the Wooden Series. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #200,992 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #70 in Islamic Social Studies #114 in Mathematics History #115 in Design History & Criticism | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 261 Reviews | ## Images ![Islamic Design: A Genius for Geometry (Wooden Books, 22) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91hsXfxuXuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great little book and I am giving it 5 stars *by R***E on October 9, 2015* This is a great little book and I am giving it 5 stars.
