M.C. Escher Kaleidocycles

This one-of-a-kind publication explores M. C. Escher's periodic drawings and their suitability as surface designs for Kaleidocycles -- three-dimensional rings formed from chains of tetrahedra (four-sided geometric forms). Includes seventeen Kaleidocycles models, all printed with repeating patterns from Escher's drawings, and a lavishly illustrated (over eighty illustrations and diagrams) book giving assembly instructions. A remarkable ... book that carries Escher's two-dimensional work into three dimensions, still full of surprises at every turn.... The resulting objects are beautifully colored and intriguing, and they provide a new way of looking at and appreciating Escher's fantastic work. -- Los Angeles Times
