DESCRIPTION:
This book is a visually compelling journey through the unique geometric discoveries of Frank Chester, a contemporary sacred geometer, artist, and sculptor. This book gives a brief, highly visual overview of some of Frank's discoveries, and presents a compelling series of indications for future research.. His work has potential implications across a number of areas, from physiology to architecture, sculpture, geology, and beyond. Frank has been exploring the form and its significance for over a decade. This new form, called the Chestahedron, was discovered in 2000, and is a seven-sided polyhedron with surfaces of equal area. He has discovered a new geometric form that unites the five Platonic solids and provides some startling indications about the form and function of the human heart. Inspired by the work of Rudolf Steiner, Frank sees a deep connection between form and spirit. This art-style book with highly polished design elements leads the reader from discovery to discovery, complemented by original text from the author, a PhD who has studied Frank's work from its inception, when it was just seven sticks in a ball of mud on the banks of the American River From the back cover: The ancient tradition of Sacred Geometry is still alive

EXTRAORDINARY BOOK. This is an extraordinary book. It is published with the highest level of any art book with very clear color images that bring the reader through a progressive journey of understanding. The book is a beautiful work of artistic vision as an integrated fusion of art and science. There is a clear linage of historical significance through the realization of Rudolf Steiner forward so that the discoveries of Frank Chester are placed in history. There is practical instruction as to applic. Thought-provoking! Yvonne J. Miller The spirit with which Frank approaches the world is inspiring.that he is open to what is yet unknown and unimagined and goes boldly ahead is courageous. The illustrations and text are excellent and certainly challenge you to think and think again. Reading the book affirms my sense of the wonder and mystery of life and how much much more there is to contemplate.. A Work of Devotion Little did I realize when I sat next to Frank Chester in a college science class that I was in the presence of someone who would eventually make such a mark on the world with his space-breaking discovery of the Chestahedron.I nearly failed high school geometry. Years later, I came to understand its spiritual significance through esoteric studies, and to recognize its presence in architectural forms through my photography. Still, Plato would not have allowed me proximity, much less
