This is the classic book of detailed instructions for making a wide variety of mathematical models of all kinds. Complete nets are given for all regular Archimedean and stellated polyhedra together with a number of interesting compounds. There are sections on paper folding, dissections, curve stitching, linkages, the drawing of loci and envelopes and the construction of plane tessellations. The volume is fully illustrated with diagrams and photographs of models in paper and other materials and all have been successfully made and tested. Note, for books that provide the nets and instructions to make various solids, look at Make Shapes 1, Make Shapes 2, and Paper Polyhedra in Colour. Cundy and Rollett provides both a wider range of nets but not in ready-made form.

Everybody loves surprises. It is often hard to say who has the greater delight, the person who is surprised, or the one who has devised the magic. The magic of Escher's work is here extended and developed into a colourful set of three-dimensional folding models you can make for yourself. The five platonic solids and the cuboctagedron are decorated with Escher's cunning ingenuity and there is a double surprise with the eleven kaleidocycles as they create and recreate Escher's brilliant designs, some of them never published prior to inclusion in this book. Experience for yourself the delight and wonder felt by Escher as you join him on his journey.

Each of the diagrams in this book poses a geometrical puzzle which has to solved simply by looking, thinking and imagining. For instance, what would you see if you look further into that hollow cube? By making models or using the cut-outs in the back of the book it is possible to check answers.

From the 59 different stellations of the icosahedron, the sixth and final are presented here as cut-out models to glue together. Each of the models is coloured to draw attention to all the planes and surfaces which are related to each other.

Jenkins, Gerald

The patterns presented in this book to colour are based on principles first discovered by Arabic mathematicians in the 10th century and this title focuses on hexagons.

Over the last decade, mazes have been making the newspaper headlines and there has been a worldwide explosion in their construction. Not only in the form of the tradtional turf mazes of medieval times and hedge mazes such as the one at Hampton Court in the UK but modern mazes made in a variety of new materials including bricks, mirrors and water jets. Even enormous maize mazes which are cut out of fields of growing corn and which last for a single summer season. This book traces the history of the maze in all its forms and uses a mixture of photographs and drawings to offer a fascinating insight into them.
