The Puzzling World of Polyhedral Dissections by Stewart T Coffin
This book examines the history, geometry, and practical construction of three-dimensional puzzles. It outlines the many different kinds of interlocking assembly puzzles, from burrs, Tangrams, and polyominoes, to those using such polyhedra as the rhombic dodecahedron and truncated octahedron, and describes numerous puzzles devised recently by the author and other inventors, many of which have never been published. For every design shown, an equal number of unsolved problems are considered, and most puzzles can be made in wood. The book will appeal to puzzle and computer enthusiasts and mathematicians.About the Author:
