Tessellations are a special genre of geometric origami in which beautiful repetitive patterns are folded from a single sheet of paper. It may seem impossibly complex to the untrained eye, yet master origami artist Ilan Garibi has broken the process down into the simplest of steps. The result: tessellations, well, for everyone!Each design is presented in three sections: the single molecule (the basic structure), a 2 by 2-molecule project, and finally a 4 by 4-molecule project. It’s a gradual process that enables the reader to learn by doing, with expert coaching all along the way.Instructions for 32 models are included; almost all are original works by Ilan Garibi, one of the most well-known origami tessellators in the world—and one of the few full-time origami artists. Garibi started to create tessellations ten years ago and since then has designed more than 100 unique models. This book is focused on square-grid based tessellations and presents some of his most unique models. The book also includes photos of many of his art pieces—made from metal, wood, and more—based on these very designs.Hand-drawn diagrams by Franziska Schwarz, an origami artist and a graphic designer, bring life and volume to instructions on flat paper for the most comfortable learning experience for folders at every skill level.

"This is a marvellous book. The diversity of possible puzzles that can be given with these very limited resources, which are basically some paper and scissors, is overwhelming, and the challenges are sometimes very tough. Even the two-star problems may be hard for an untrained puzzler. This is medicine against boredom on long rainy days, but be careful not to get addicted or it may suck up your less empty and sunny days as well." See Full Review European Mathematical Society "The title of this book fairly accurately explains its content and purpose. There is enough variation in difficulty that the book should be enjoyable for both novices and puzzle enthusiasts of all ages. While some of the puzzles or activities will be familiar to enthusiasts, there are plenty of original problems from the authors as well. Overall the book is excellent and should be enjoyable to a large audience. I even tested the book by handing it and some paper squares to some teenagers on a long car trip. They stayed fairly absorbed in it for the bulk of the trip." See Full Review Mathematical Association of America

THE TANGRAM is one of the oldest types of dissection puzzles in the world that originated from China. It traditionally requires the participant to arrange seven pieces (or "tans") into a shape just by looking at the given silhouette.
LEARN WHILE PLAYING The puzzles in this unique book are fresh, innovative and compelling. The puzzle pieces are building units for puzzles that boost mental dexterity with a variety of challenges from various fields of recreational mathematics. Come on and play with symmetry puzzles, cover-up puzzles and self-similarity puzzles to increase your skill and mental acuity!
NEW PUZZLE DESIGNS To add variety and challenge, some of the puzzles may not use all seven pieces of the Tangram set, while others may use pieces from two or more sets.
The authors utilize a creative twist in this collection that is different from classic Tangram puzzles: Most of the puzzles do not allow connections between the pieces unless they share a common edge. With this slight change to the rules, an entirely new universe of Tangram puzzles and challenges is unleashed to delight the puzzle solver!
PROVIDES HOURS OF FUN The majority of the puzzles in this book are new and original. They range in difficulty to suit various levels of puzzle enthusiasts. Some selections are based upon famous classic puzzles while others are modified to stimulate and captivate the puzzlist as they have done for more than a thousand years!
