Reviews / Votes
'Keith Critchlow has one of the century's rare conceptual minds. He is continually inspired by the conceptioning of both earliest and latest record. He lauds the work of others while himself pouring forth, in great modesty, whole vista-filling new realizations of nature's mathematical structuring.... He is one of the most inspiring scholar-teachers I have had the privilege to know' - Buckminster FullerMore details
