About the Book

An awareness and appreciation of the beauty of symmetry and harmony that can be found in all of nature must surely have been responsible for the intuitive leap of the author's imagination to cause the creation of the mathematical tables that were first presented in A Glimmer of Light from the Eye of a Giant. The new tables and figures presented in this edition combine with the earlier ones to provide reasonably sound numerical data that support the "intelligent design movement" of creationists. The Wheels of Phi and the Glimmer Tables together provide a root source for the "numbers of nature", and the Trigonometric Phi Function Selection Rule identifies those numbers that might be expressed in terms of Phi. Such numbers are thought to infuse aesthetical value into the designs of artist and architects.

About the Author

Serving as a merchant seaman during the height of World War II, and later sailing as a deck officer provided the author with a first understanding of navigation and the mechanics of the universe. During the 60's Turbeville obtained two degrees in Physics and began an academic career of management, teaching, and research at the University of South Florida. Later he undertook the development of an oil spill recovery concept. The resulting patents led to an invitation from the University of Trondheim in Norway, where Turbeville worked for a year as a research associate. Turbeville moved from Florida in the mid-80's to the North Carolina mountains and began teaching at the University of Western North Carolina on a part-time basis as a fi rst step toward settling into the slower pace of life the author now enjoys.
