Paul Dry
To the readers of NATURE:
In 2010, Paul Dry Books published a new translation of Kepler's The Six-Cornered Snowflake. Our edition also includes the Latin text, illustrations, essays by Owen Gingerich and Guillermo Bleichmar, and the poem "The Six-Cornered Snowflake" by John Frederick Nims, along with helpful notes on the text.
We wanted our edition to be playful and probing in the spirit of De Nive Sexangula.
