A dissection involves cutting a polygon into pieces in such a way
that those pieces form another polygon; for a hinged dissection,
the pieces must be attached by hinges. A piano hinge is "a long
narrow hinge with a pin running the entire length of its joint."
So, unlike regular hinged dissections, which swing or twist (around
single point of hinge), piano-hinged dissections fold along an
edge. This book discusses the history, methods, and variations of
these dissections and is rich with illustrations that clearly
depict the cuts of the dissections and three-dimensional
simulations of the dissections in the process of being folded. The
downloadable resources include video recordings of select
dissections being transformed accompanies the book.
