New in paperback, How the World Is Made explores how ancient
peoples who grasped the timeless principles of sacred geometry were
able to create flourishing societies. Galileo described the
universe as a large book written in the language of mathematics,
which can only be read by those with knowledge of its characters -
triangles, circles and other geometrical figures. More than 300
colour illustrations reveal the secret code within these
geometrical figures and how they express the spiritual meanings in
the key numbers of 1 through 12. He identifies the various regular
shapes and shows their constructions; their natural symbolism;
their meetings, matings and ways of breeding; and their functions
within the universal order. In the process, Michell helps us see
the world in a new light. Disparate shapes and their corresponding
numbers are woven together, resolving themselves into an
all-inclusive world image - that 'pattern in the heavens', as
Socrates called it, 'which anyone can find and establish within
themselves.' 'A delightful book: clear, witty, beautiful and
illuminating. It is well worth buying for yourself - and for your
friends' - The Spectator 'Utterly gorgeous ... 288 full-colour
pages of wisdom and wonder on thick, art-quality paper that should
survive many years of use. A thing to be cherished, a work of art,
it is also a beautifully illustrated geometry primer with
philosophical commentary ... the text is Michell's finest prose -
cool, succinct and rational' - Fortean Times 'Instructive and
illustrative ... John Michell has stamped this book with the
freshness and originality that are his hallmark. It is a worthy
bequest of an extraordinary mind ... a source of inspiration for
seekers in the arts, mathematics and the Mysteries' - Temenos
Academy Review 'A real treasure! ... it will delight anyone
associated with sacred cosmology or sacred landscape' - Gatekeeper
