“Like many people, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the publication of this book, and I have to say that it has been a real delight finally to read its inspirational thoughts and also to contemplate the large number of beautiful images and geometrical diagrams that is contains….
“I have been waiting thirty-five years for this book.” - Julian Barnard, author of Bach Flower Remedies: Form and Function And I admire the honest circularity of its plot that begins in mystery, passes through much knowledge, and returns again (in fact again and again) to mystery.” - Wendell Berry It is a fascinating book, full of things useful and pleasing to know. “This is less a book for what we call ‘reading’ than a book to be lived with as a delightful and instructive companion for a long time. The plentiful illustrations help make this a book of inspiration and insight.” - Dr. “I’ve been looking at plants all my life and it’s one of my great pleasures, Keith Critchlow”s book adds new dimensions to this enjoyment and shows how number and geometry are made manifest in the forms that we see in every garden, in wild flowers and in the cut flowers that decorate our rooms…. His illuminating study attempts to re-engage the human spirit in its intimate relation with all nature. Working from his own flower photographs and with every geometric pattern hand-drawn, the author reviews the role of flowers from the perspective of our interrelationship with the natural world. What is evident in the geometry of a flower’s face can remind us of the geometry that underlies all existence. In this sense, Critchlow tells us, we can treat flowers as sources of remembering-ways of recalling our own wholeness, as well as awakening our inner power of recognition and consciousness. The flower becomes a teacher of symmetry and geometry (the “eternal verities,” as Plato called them). In this beautiful and original book, renowned thinker and geometrist Keith Critchlow focuses on an aspect of flowers that has received the least attention. Flowers also speak to us in the language of the plant’s form, provide cultural symbols in different cultures, and, at the highest levels, offer inspiration.
