Product Reviews:
  Very Detailed, But Difficult to Read ( mishanjr )
I bought this book while researching the Logarithmic Spiral. There were only a few references to the Logarithmic Spiral, so it wasn't spot on with what I was looking for. However, I stayed away from this as a source because the text was difficult to read.
  Spirals in nature and in art ( ebbergmann )
This book (originally published in 1914) is a comprehensive and extraordinary description of spiral formations. It's definitive--a must for anyone interested in art and in the way nature operates.
