"A brilliant and bizarre take on art and life." --Peter Engel, author of Folding the Universe
Kurzbeschreibung
Imagine folding a piece of paper into nail clippers that really work, or a Swiss Army knife that actually opens, or a surfer on a wave that crashes when the surfer is slid forward...There's no need to imagine-this is for real!
In Origami to Astonish and Amuse Jeremy Shafer has taken the art of paper folding in an entirely new direction. Filled with hundreds of entertaining models and folding ideas, ranging from amazingly simple to ridiculously complex, this is origami at its most fun and creative.

Synopsis
This work shows the reader how to experiment with paper, from making simple folds to unique designs such as the Swiss Army knife that really opens up and includes two knives and a screwdriver, and the nail clippers that are amazingly realistic when made of foil paper
