Nature's Harmonic Unity

Nature's Harmonic Unity: A Treatise On Its Relation To Proportional Form is a book written by Samuel Colman and originally published in 1912. The book explores the relationship between nature and proportion, with a focus on the principles of harmonic unity. Colman argues that nature exhibits a harmonious balance of proportions that can be observed in everything from the structure of crystals to the arrangement of leaves on a tree.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the principles of harmonic unity and how they relate to the natural world. The second part examines specific examples of harmonic proportions in nature, including the Golden Ratio and the Fibonacci sequence. The third part explores how these principles can be applied to art and architecture, with a particular emphasis on the use of proportion in classical Greek and Roman architecture.Throughout the book, Colman draws on examples from a wide range of fields, including mathematics, physics, and biology. He also includes numerous illustrations and diagrams to help readers better understand the concepts he is discussing.Overall, Nature's Harmonic Unity is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between nature and proportion. It will be of interest to anyone interested in the natural world, as well as those interested in the history of art and architecture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
