The Golden Ratio examines the presence of this divine number in art and architecture throughout history, as well as its ubiquity among plants, animals, and even the cosmos. This gorgeous book—with layflat dimensions that closely approximate the golden ratio—features clear, enlightening, and entertaining commentary alongside stunning full-color illustrations by Venezuelan artist and architect Rafael Araujo. From the pyramids of Giza, to quasicrystals, to the proportions of the human face, the golden ratio has an infinite capacity to generate shapes with exquisite properties. This book invites you to take a new look at this timeless topic, with a compilation of research and information worthy of a text book, accompanied by over 200 beautiful color illustrations that transform this into the ultimate coffee table book.   Author Gary Meisner shares the results of his twenty-year investigation and collaboration with thousands of people across the globe in dozens of professions and walks of life. The evidence will close the gaps of understanding related to many claims of the golden ratio’s appearances and applications, and present new findings to take our knowledge further yet.   Whoever you are, and whatever you may know about this topic, you’ll find something new, interesting, and informative in this book, and may find yourself challenged to see, apply, and share this unique number of mathematics and science in new ways.

THE DIVINE EQUATION & THE HOLY TEMPLEFrom Noah's Ark to Music, from Matter to the Living DNA, from Space to the Stock Market; the Biblical Ratio/Code 1.666666... forgotten, lost, or hidden?A series of startling and controversial discoveries reveal a previously unknown mathematical code encrypted in the Bible. The mysterious code was known to Noah and was implemented in the design of the Ark.About 1200 years later, the same code was utilized by Moses, who built the Ark of the Covenant, the Menorah, and the Altar.After another 480 years, the code was embedded into the Temple of Solomon, the decryption of which requires yet another encoded key.A1000 years passed and the same mysterious code has once again echoed through the parables spoken by Jesus to his disciples.Since then, however, the knowledge of the code appeared to have been completely forgotten. Intriguingly, 1500 years later, during the Renaissance, the ancient "Biblical Code" has once again reappeared, but in the form of musical frequency, and today, is a standard for tuning musical instruments.Moreover, this mystical code serves as an underlying factor or constant for the modern economy and Stock Market.Nonetheless, the roots of this puzzling mystery go even deeper, for it rests within the very fundamental properties of matter and the building blocks of life itself.The question is, "what is the ultimate source of this enigma"?And is there some message here for humanity...

To read yourself or give to friends: fifty short essays on notable Catholics, across the ages!! Two criteria: the subject can’t (yet) have been canonized, and he or she has to be dead. Some are hardly known. Jacqueline de Decker, for example, wore a neck brace, drove a red convertible, and hung out with prostitutes in her native Belgium. She also offered herself as a victim soul to help Mother Teresa. Some should be better known: Mother Antonia Brenner, a Beverly Hills socialite, went off to live in La Mesa, a notorious Mexican prison, and spent the rest of her life ministering to the inmates. Jacques Fesch, a movie-star handsome French murderer, was condemned to death and wrote a stirring conversion memoir—Notes from the Scaffold—before being guillotined.There are medieval nuns, a Carmelite dishwasher monk, and modern day martyrs. There are artists: novelists Flannery O’Connor and Walker Percy, film-maker Robert Bresson, actor Sir Alec Guinness (a daily communicant; who knew?). There are divine eccentrics: Bartolo Longo, ex-Satanist priest. Marthe Robin, who supposedly never slept, survived for 40 years on the Eucharist, and received the stigmata each Friday. “Here comes everybody,” as James Joyce quipped of the Church. Glory be to God.

Effective visual communication is not an accidental occurrence, but the result of serious intention on the part the designer to balance all aspects of the design. This is often achieved through careful application of proportion based on certain guiding principles long in existence: the golden ratio, or divine proportion, and the Fibonacci sequence. Both mathematical constructs that mirror patterns found throughout nature, from leaves and shells to sunflowers and pinecones. Artists and designers have made use of these principles for centuries to create work with long lasting appeal, from renaissance paintings to modern logos. Following a practical overview, Visual Harmony presents a survey of contemporary graphic design that all exhibits this masterful use of proportion.
