There's a great color photo of me assembling the 7-pointed star in Fig. 1.1;
the photo also appears on the front page as the picture lead for the Local section,
along with the headline "Professor turns geometry into art".
The article appears online:
" `Dissections' book about more than just geometry"
A short announcement of the book appeared on Monday, December 15, 1997, in the
weekly edition business section, page D12, under
Tech Talk, (stale)
along with two other notes.
A half-page description of the book appeared in the
"Off the Shelf" section (page 14) of the Winter 1998 issue of
Purdue University Perspective,
