Om forfatteren
Robert J. Lang has been an avid student of origami for over fifty years and is now recognized as one of the world's leading masters of the art. He is noted for designs of great detail and realism, and his repertoire includes some of the most complex origami designs ever created. His work combines vis mere aspects of the Western school of mathematical origami design with the Eastern emphasis upon line and form to yield designs that are at once distinctive, elegant, and challenging to fold, They have been shown in exhibitions in New York (Museum of Modern Art), Paris (Carrousel du Louvre), Salem (Peabody Essex Museum), San Diego (Mingei Museum of World Folk Art), and Kaga, Japan (Nippon Museum of Origami), among others. He is one of the pioneers of computational origami techniques, and has published widely on the theory and mathematics of folding. Dr. Lang was born in Ohio and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Along the way to his current career as a fulltime origami artist and consultant, he worked as a physicist, engineer, and RD manager, during which time he authored or co-authored over 80 technical publications and 50 patents on semiconductor lasers, optics, and integrated optoelectronics. He was elected a Fellow of the Optical Society of America and served as Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics from 2007-2010. After switching his primary focus to origami, he authored or co-authored numerous technical articles on the mathematics of folding and on design techniques for folding in technological applications. In 2009, he received Caltech's Distinguished Alumni Award for his origami work, and in 2013 was elected a Fellow of the American Mathematical Society. Dr. Lang resides in Alamo, California. vis mindre

The Complete Book of Origami: Step-by Step I… af Robert J. Lang
Good book on origami. I ended up not making many of the more complicated models, but it was easy to follow and use. It was a nice progression of difficulty as the book goes along.
Self published book with vintage pictures of the author flying Fleets, Cubs, Aeroncas, and other planes, starting in the early 40's in the Pacific Northwest.
Children can choose a more advanced project and one that may cater to their own interests. Allowing the child to be more creative and show things that they are more interested in the classroom. This type of project can be used as a bell ringer, homework with the addition of writing about the project. This could aid with children being able to find things out about their classmates as well. I feel older children would really enjoy some f the projects in these pages.
This is an amazing book. Every model does something: glide, flap, inflate, or otherwise move. It's an outstanding reference book and will provide hours of family entertainment if parental patience can stay the course. (Now make a butterfly that flaps! Now make one for me too! And a barking wolf! And a pecking woodpecker!)
For me, any origami book containing the balloon (also known as waterbomb) is a good one. There's also an inflatable rabbit directly based on it, and a further refinement to the rabbit pattern. More fun! The only action origami figure that I would have liked to see here and did not, was the jumping frog. But there is so much else, including a bassist who bows his instrument (start with a very big piece of paper!).
The directions are (so far, having tried about half a dozen of the "easy" and one of the "intermediate" models) pretty good. Sometimes towards the end they seem to try to put two or three folds into one step. This may be why our wagging dog did not wag, but the 4-year-old could easily and enthusiastically wag it himself so it was all good. I am definitely in the market for a copy of this book to delight our family.… (mere)
