The Abyss of Time

an architect's history of the Golden Section

Martin Hutchinson

About this book

Back Cover: > "**The Abyss of Time: An architect's history of the Golden Section**" explores the nature of the famous Fibonacci Series, its ability to reproduce the Golden Section proportions that regularly appear in ancient architecture, and the possibility that the Series (in conjuction with a hypothetical "megalithic foot") may once have been used as the basis of a standard measurement scale and system of weights and measures in historic and prehistoric times." Written in 1973, published in 2008
