From the publishers of "Making Mathematics in Needlework" Crocheting Adventures with Hyperbolic Planes is a work of gargantuan proportions whose influence will be measured for decades to come. Delightfully brilliant yet down to earth, Daina Taimina brings together the best aspects of right brain imagination and risk-taking with left brain facts, practicality, and pattern perception, creating a win-win situation that everyone will enjoy. Lavish with photos throughout the book, the art is creatively placed in nature and the math schematics are crisp and clear. Daina s compendium of crochet history is the best I have seen, and this book is a must for the bookshelves of crochet and math students alike. --Gwen Blakley Kinsler, Founder and proud Lifetime Member of the Crochet Guild of America.   hardcover, 148 pages
