By revealing the symbolic and geometric patterns underlying everything from plants to architecture, this book offers a fresh, accessible perspective on numbers 1 through 10, blending mythology, folklore, and scientific insight. With a 4.7-star rating from over 800 readers, it’s a must-have for curious professionals eager to see the universe’s hidden design. ## Description The Universe May Be a Mystery, But It's No Secret Michael Schneider leads us on a spectacular, lavishly illustrated journey along the numbers one through ten to explore the mathematical principles made visible in flowers, shells, crystals, plants, and the human body, expressed in the symbolic language of folk sayings and fairy tales, myth and religion, art and architecture. This is a new view of mathematics, not the one we learned at school but a comprehensive guide to the patterns that recur through the universe and underlie human affairs. A Beginner's Guide to Constructing, the Universe shows you: Why cans, pizza, and manhole covers are round. Why one and two weren't considered numbers by the ancient Greeks. Why squares show up so often in goddess art and board games. What property makes the spiral the most widespread shape in nature, from embryos and hair curls to hurricanes and galaxies. How the human body shares the design of a bean plant and the solar system. How a snowflake is like Stonehenge, and a beehive like a calendar. How our ten fingers hold the secrets of both a lobster and a cathedral. And much more. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 18.75 x 2.44 x 23.5 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | Isbn 10 | 0060926716 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0060926717 | | Item Weight | 513 g | | Language | English | | Print Length | 384 pages | | Publication Date | 29 Sept. 1995 | | Publisher | Avon Books | ## Images ![A Beginner's Guide to Constructing the Universe: The Mathematical Archetypes of Nature, Art, and Science - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81new2M+JYL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating stuff *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 19 March 2026* Everyone should read this.
