The Golden Ratio by Mario Livio

Read 11 years ago

First Published 2002

This book discusses the irrational constant known as "phi" which is related to the Fibonacci series of numbers and can be observed throughout the natural world. The author objectively analyzes some historians claims about artists and architects intentionally incorporating the golden ratio (approximately 8:5) into their work. Incorporates a bit of math, but not enough to overwhelm the liberal arts types.
