Tries to display the value (and joy!) of starting from a mathematically amorphous problem and combining ideas from diverse sources to produce new and significant mathematics - mathematics unforeseen from the motivating problem. This book focuses on aperiodic tilings; the best-known example is the 'kite and dart' tiling.
