Marvelous Modular Origami

Splendid book ... Purists rejoice! Without doubt, this is a must have for modular enthusiasts and well worth investigating for others. -Davidy Petty, BOM, August 2007 Review of Marvelous Modular Origami from the Polish Origami Society (in Polish), including full color photos of of the models included in the book. -POS, July 2007 ... this is an excellent book ... Modular and kusudama fans will certainly want to add this book to their collection. And the non-modular-folders out there might just find that this is the book that hooks them on this origami specialty! -Origami USA magazin, January 2008 ... its deep value lies in its enhancement of rich mathematical concepts and its connections between mathematics and science. It is highly recommended. -Mathematics Teacher, May 2008 Published by A K Peters Ltd., Marvelous Modular Origami offers step-by-step instructions for more than 30 different modular origami structures. By the end of the year, the book was a bestseller. -The Mercury News , May 2008 Meenakshi Mukerji takes the ancient Japanese art form of origami -or paper folding- far beyond the making of simple paper cranes. -Cupertino COURIER, May 2008 The book is intended for intermediate but beginners are also encouraged to try. -European Mathematical Society, March 2008 so many ways, origami is the perfect activity for young children. Using only simple movements that even young ones can master at a high enough level, students can create beautiful things. The pot is made even sweeter by the fact that the cost of the raw materials is so low. By practicing first using printer paper, the students can hone their skills before moving on to the development of the finished product. This book contains some of the best and most functional origami patterns ever developed. The end results are spectacular and the directions are very easy to follow. I am on good terms with the education department at Mount Mercy College and will be showing them this book when classes start this fall. -Charles Ashbacher, Journal of Recreational Mathematics , March 2008 the help of this book, interested teachers and lecturers can learn to fold and put together beautiful symmetrical solids. The folding tasks will enrich geometry teaching and create interesting learning environments at secondary school level. -Zentralblatt MATH, January 2009 This book would be valuable to those who enjoy origami and want to try new folding methods and constructions. The directions, accompanied by quality illustrations, are easy to follow. This would be an excellent reference for members of a mathematics club who are looking for projects. -Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, November 2008 Marvelous Modular Origami has been reviewed by Mathematiacl Reviews!
