We all have shadows and everyone is curious about his own. Starting from that point, author Daphne Trivett encourages the reader of SHADOW GEOMETRY to explore, experiment, and discover as much as he can about shadows. He'll find and create them indoors, outdoors, on floors, walls, and ceilings.

With a friend, a lamp, scissors, paper, and pencil, any of the projects in this book can be done. Cardboard cut-outs, hands, string, any household junk in front of a lamp, can cast a thousand different shadows. Move the lamp, change the shadow screen, go outside in the sun, and there are another thousand! Choose an object—guess its shadow. Look at a shadow—guess the object!

A book for activity, full of experimentation, SHADOW GEOMETRY explores a fascinating subject where science and mathematics meet.
