The Magic Mirror of M.C.Escher
0 906212 45 6 Bruno Ernst
This magnificent book is a revealing study of the life and works of one of the most astonishing artists of our time. Copiously illustrated with his finished works, it also shows many of the sketches, studies and diagrams which he made while creating his magical effects. Escher always claimed to know nothing of mathematics, but he was fascinated by it and it inspired so much of his exploration into the nature of perception. His unique contribution to our understanding of perception and what we regard as possible or impossible is fully discussed and explained in this book.

M.C.Escher Kaleidocycles
17 full colour models of Escher's designs and the story of how they were devised
0 906212 28 6 Schattschneider & Walker
Combining interesting explanations with three-dimensional models to cut out and glue together, this book is an exploration of the symmetries of Escher's plane tilings. By experiencing the designs in a practical way, it is possible to appreciate them more fully. Some designs fold to make polyhedra and there is the delight in how the motifs fit together at the vertices and along the edges. Others make into kaleidocycles, models of linked tetrahedra which will turn through their centres. As they are rotated Escher's interlocking patterns form and reform in endless procession. It is said that 'everyone loves surprises' and this book is full of them.
