Review of The Golden Section: Nature's Greatest Secret
Review of The Golden Section: Nature's Greatest Secret
Professor Olsen repeats all the popular fallacies about the golden ratio so ably demolished by Markowsky [1] (in fairness, Polster manages one too) and adds a few of his own.
That ’only’ should manage to offend the devout as much as the secular. The prose lives up to the series title, and while the pages might be in sepia there’s an unmistakeable whiff of green ink here.

Abstract
Professor Olsen repeats all the popular fallacies about the golden ratio so ably demolished by Markowsky [1] (in fairness, Polster manages one too) and adds a few of his own.
That ’only’ should manage to offend the devout as much as the secular. The prose lives up to the series title, and while the pages might be in sepia there’s an unmistakeable whiff of green ink here.
