The Bicentennial Book 1975-76

Dell Publishing Co.

An introduction to the geometry which, as modern science now confirms, underlies the structure of the universe.The thinkers of ancient Egypt, Greece and India recognized that numbers governed much of what they saw in their world and hence provided an approach to its divine creator. Robert Lawlor sets out the system that determines the dimension and the form of both man-made and natural structures, from Gothic cathedrals to flowers, from music to the human body. By also involving the reader in practical experiments, he leads with ease from simple principles to a grasp of the logarithmic spiral, the Golden Proportion, the squaring of the circle and other ubiquitous ratios and proportions. Art and Imagination: These large-format, gloriously-illustrated paperbacks cover Eastern and Western religion and philosophy, including myth and magic, alchemy and astrology. The distinguished authors bring a wealth of knowledge, visionary thinking and accessible writing to each intriguing subject. 202 illustrations and diagrams, 56 in two colors

Life of Pythagoras\nHomage to Pythagoras collects essential writings by authors at the leading edge of the sacred sciences today. Each chapter―scholarly homages to the Pythagorean perspective―confirms the continuing interest in Pythagoras’ philosophy as a living reality. These authors provide a major addition to the field of Pythagorean studies and traditional mathematics. 
 Review 
“Some of the finest recent articles on Sacred Mathematics in the Pythagorean and Platonic traditions, which are still as vital and important as ever.” ( 
Ralph Abraham, author of Chaos, Gaia, Eros)\n“If they ever put together a new Library of Alexandria, Homage to Pythagoras should be required reading.” ( 
John Anthony West, author of The Serpent in the Sky: The High Wisdom of Ancient Egypt)\n“With its testimony to number and pattern at the heart of nature and of the arts, the Pythagorean tradition will always be a guiding light to Western culture.” ( 
Joscelyn Godwin, author of The Golden Thread: The Ageless Wisdom of the Western Mystery Traditions)

 About the Author 
Anne Macaulay (1921–1998) lived in Scotland where, for many years, she studied the origins of the alphabet, the history of the guitar, the figure of Apollo, and other mysteries surrounding Pythagoreanism. She settled in Balerno near Edinburgh and traveled widely, surveying megalithic sites around the world. In 1994, she was awarded an Honorary Fellowship by the University of Edinburgh. Mrs. Macaulay lectured at RILKO (Research into Lost Knowledge Orga­nization) and was a trustee of the Salisbury Center in Edinburgh.\nChristopher Bamford is Editor in Chief Emeritus for SteinerBooks (Anthroposophic Press) and its imprints. A Fellow of the Lindisfarne Association, he has lectured, taught, and written widely on Western spiritual and esoteric traditions. He is the author of 
The Voice of the Eagle: The Heart of Celtic Christianity (1990) and 
An Endless Trace: The Passionate Pursuit of Wisdom in the West (2003). He has also translated and edited numerous books, including 
Celtic Christianity: Ecology and Holiness (1982); 
Homage to Pythagoras: Rediscovering Sacred Science; and 
The Noble Traveller: The Life and Writings of O. V. de L. Milosz (all published by Lindisfarne Books). HarperSanFrancisco included an essay by Mr. Bamford in its anthology 
Best Spiritual Writing 2000.\nKathleen Raine (1908–2003) graduated from Cambridge University in 1929. She became one of English literature's most remarkable twentyth-century practitioners. Although she considered herself primarily a poet, she was also a prolific writer of prose, an astute critic, and a distinguished scholar. Her poems and essays assert that true poetry is an expression of the spirit, the unfolding of a reality often hidden by the material appearance of things. Raine wrote a three-part autobiography (1973-1977), founded the magazine 
Temenos in 1981 to articulate her views, and in 1990 established the Temenos Academy of Integral Studies, a teaching academy that stressed a multistranded universalist philosophy. A professor at Ca
