Excellent- More about Divided Spheres: Geodesics and the Orderly Subdivision of the Sphere
Dr. Popkos new book extends the science and art of spherical modeling to include Computer-Aided Design and applications, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the geometry of spheres. The book is praised for its comprehensive coverage of the subject, illustrations, and applications. It provides a thorough introduction to the mathematics of Buckminster Fullers invention of the geodesic dome and introduces new techniques for generating optimized hexagonal tessellations. The second edition also includes a new foreword, expanded history, and updated bibliography.

Dr. Popkos elegant new book extends both the science and the art of spherical modeling to include Computer-Aided Design and applications, which I would never have imagined when I started down this fascinating and rewarding path. His lovely illustrations bring the subject to life for all readers, including those who are not drawn to the mathematics. This book demonstrates the scope, beauty, and utility of an art and science with roots in antiquity.
Anyone with an interest in the geometry of spheres, whether a professional engineer, an architect, or a product designer, a student, a teacher, or simply someone curious about the spectrum of topics to be found in this book, will find it helpful and rewarding.
– Magnus Wenninger, Benedictine Monk and Polyhedral Modeler
Ed Popkos comprehensive survey of the history, literature, geometric, and mathematical properties of the sphere is the definitive work on the subject. His masterful and thorough investigation of every aspect is covered with sensitivity and intelligence. This book should be in the library of anyone interested in the orderly subdivision of the sphere.
– Shoji Sadao, Architect, Cartographer, and lifelong business partner of Buckminster Fuller
Edward Popkos Divided Spheres is a thesaurus must to those whose academic interest in the world of geometry looks to greater coverage of synonyms and antonyms of this beautiful shape we call a sphere. The late Buckminster Fuller might well place this manuscript as an all-reference for illumination to one of nature's most perfect inventions.
– Thomas T. K. Zung, Senior Partner, Buckminster Fuller, Sadao, & Zung Architects.
This first edition of this well-illustrated book presented a thorough introduction to the ma.
