Explore the reaches of your imagination by combining art, craft, and mathematics to create the age-old geometric form of the polyhedra. More than 50 projects use just one center point to create shapes that are folded symmetrically and build upon each other. With easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, you can construct models from regular polygons, including equilateral triangles, squares, pentagons, hexagons, octagons, and decagons. These engaging projects require active, mental participation and can aid in reshaping familiar thought patterns as well as keeping your focus on the present moment as a form of relaxation. Also included is a wealth of detail on the subject of geometry. Once a requirement for entry into the philosopher Plato’s Academy, now geometry can be enjoyed by everyone with an eye for fun. The book includes a chapter of tips to create your own designs.

How did British diplomats, politicians and the British public make sense of Willy Brandt‘s West Germans, now Britain‘s new partners, who had been bombing their cities a mere generation ago? How did perceptions of the national other help political arguments in the United Kingdom during its accession into the European Community and Neue Ostpolitik in the Federal Republic? Was there a new, postwar Germanness? What were the contemporary perceptual themes and what did they really mean? Evaluating a wide range of sources including Foreign Office files, personal papers, opinion polls, newspapers and TV programmes, this book explores these questions with an innovative approach and explains why we need to look beyond ‘the war’ to understand.
