Lời Giới Thiệu Của Nhà Xuất Bản
Across the Islamic world, illuminating Korans from Morocco to Malaysia, and adorning mosques, mausoleums and palaces, are hidden some of the most exquisite geometrical devices ever conceived by man. In this excellent little book, geometer Daud Sutton unravels the mystery of Islamic patterns, explaining where they come from, how to draw them, and hinting at the Divine messages they encode.

Good Book, poor digitally quality
For some reason every bit of text in this book is permanently highlighted yellow. My iPad is up to date and there’s no reason for this glitch. The photographs and drawings are a low resolution and not great quality... very disappointing as it’s a book I truly love and also have a physical copy of.
