What was the golden secret known to Leonardo da Vinci, Kepler,
Plato and the ancient magicians? Can there really be a key to
nature and life itself? In this small but compact volume,
internationally renowned divine proportion supersleuth Dr. Olsen
unravels perhaps the greatest mystery of all time, a code that
seems to underly life, the universe and everything, a pattern we
instinctively recognise as beautiful, and which nature herself uses
at every scale. Designed for artists and scientists alike, this is
the smallest, densest and most beautiful book on the golden section
ever produced. WOODEN BOOKS are small but packed with information.

As negentienjarige ryloper in Spanje beland Frank Westerman
toevallig in die dorpie Banyoles, waar ’n opgestopte
“Kalahari-Boesman”, slegs bekend as El Negro, uitgestal word. Sy
indrukke bly hom by – en wanneer hy dekades later weer van El Negro
lees, die keer in ’n Franse koerant, is dit die begin van ’n
ondersoeksreis wat belangrike vrae oor rasopvattings en die
Westerse beskawing na vore bring. Wie was hierdie naamlose man? Wat
se sy opgestopte “museumteenwoordigheid” oor Europese denke oor
slawerny, rassisme en kolonialisme – en bied hy slegs ’n spieel op
’n vergange tyd, of ook op die hede?
