Principles of Three-dimensional Design
This text is a thorough introduction to three-dimensional design: the importance of forms and objects in space. It covers the areas of problem solving: form/plane/space relationships. Of equal importance is its unique coverage of functional, cultural, and spatial contexts that condition the meanings we impart in creating objects. Its underlying goal is to provide a practical and theoretical understanding of how objects and the spaces they occupy shape the physical and perceptual nature of our reality.
Geometry and Symmetry
This new book helps students gain an appreciation of geometry and its importance in the history and development of mathematics. The material is presented in three parts. The first is devoted to Euclidean geometry. The second covers non-Euclidean geometry. The last part explores symmetry. Exercises and activities are interwoven with the text to enable them to explore geometry. The activities take advantage of geometric software so they'll gain a better understanding of its capabilities. Mathematics teachers will be able to use this material to create exciting and engaging projects in the classroom.

At the turn of the last millennium, a powerful Native American civilization emerged and flourished in the American Midwest. By A.D. 1050 the population of its capital city, Cahokia, was larger than that of London.

This beautifully illustrated book ...
John Henry
Henry's career began thirty+ years ago in Chicago as a painter of large non-objective canvasses, but his desire to expand the creative process in a direct and immediate manner led him to sculpture. He began assembling metals in precise constructions with an industrial precision and a sense of the engineered object that is recognizably his own. This 500 page book covers four decades of Henry's work, with detail photographs by David Finn.
