In this gorgeous book, Eric Gjerde has presented clear, easy-to-follow instructions that introduce the reader to the incredible beauty and diversity of origami tessellations. -- Robert J. Lang, June 2008Here [Gjerde] demonstrates 25 of his favorite designs that use tessellations, geometric patterns that can repeat forever, to make paper surfaces of intricate pleats and folds. For most learners, he says, there is a moment of epiphany after which it all makes sense and they can never go back. Beginning and experienced origamists are welcome. -- Reference & Research Book News, May 2009If Eric Gjerde's new book Origami Tessellations: Awe-Inspiring Geometric Designs needed an alternative title, it might be: Origami: It's not just for kids any more! Of course origami has never been just for kids, but this book should convince you that you can create some great art using origami techniques. . . . The projects are graded as beginner, intermediate and advanced, but 'beginner' should be interpreted as someone who has previous experience with origami or a strong interest in learning about it, because even the simplest projects include a lot of steps and demand precise folding. But for someone who enjoys doing origami and wants to try some complex projects, the directions are very clear and the photographs of the finished work should serve as an inspiration. -- Sarah Boslaugh, MAA Online, June 2009Gjerde's [book] is as much an art book and is a feast for the eyes on every page . . . It is not standard origami, nor indeed standard tessellation. It takes tessellations into three dimensions and then back into two . . . All pieces are from a single piece of paper, prefolded into the grids. You would not think so when, for example, you have a result that looks like woven strips of tape or a triangular weaving reminiscent of M.C. Escher. -- John Sharp, The London Mathematical Society Newsletter , May 2009Origami tesselations in this book means paper folding by repeating special patterns. Explicit instructions are given how to obtain a large variety of origami tesselations of great beauty and difficulty. The results are interesting geometric figures which - however - are presented from an intuitive point of view. ... Several of these origami tesselations are comparable with patterns on a tile floor or the Islamic artwork at the Alhambra in Spain. The reader is invited and inspired for [his or her] own experiments and ideas, especially for creating [his or her] own patterns in the sense of origami tesselations. -- Gertraud Ehrig, Zentralblatt MATH , September 2009This richly illustrated and easy-to-read handbook is an excellent resource for origami hobbyists. Images from the text could also be used to support classroom discussions of symmetry, tessellation, and multicultural mathematics. ... This book is a valuable resource for origami enthusiasts and anyone with an interest in tessellation-based art. -- Heidi Burgiel, Mathematics Teacher , October 2009Origami Tessellations has been reviewed by Mathematiacl Reviews ! Check out the link above for more details. - Mathematiacl Reviews , November 2009", ... It is surprising and challenging to see which variety of ornaments can be generated this way out of one single sheet of paper. The procedures are explained step by step and allow to reproduce these interesting planar ornaments. ... The surprising and wonderful results are worth the effort. I really enjoyed this exercise ...

- o***d (5)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufExcellent condition of the book even while used as I'm glad to provide it to a friend who loves the topic! The price was better than what I would've thought as well as it's a pretty large and sturdy book! There only a little wear and tear with a previous label possibly from a past owner, but it'll continue being enjoyed for sure!
