SECRET CODE (TASCHEN VA) (HB)

The Divine Proportion reveals a number of simple patterns: It is seen in the seed patterns of fruits, the family tree of bees, the pyramids of Egypt, the human body, shells, the list is endless.

As its many forms unfold we uncover the Golden Rectangle in the Parthenon and the Fibonacci numbers in lilies, daisies, pineapples, and our own DNA.
