«As 85 Maneiras de Dar um Nó de Gravata» is the practical manual by Thomas Fink and Yong Mao, published by Dom Quixote in paperback (164 pages, in Portuguese).
Two Cambridge physicists applied a concept from molecular physics to necktie knots and discovered that there are 85 possible ways to tie them. This illustrated book combines science and style to explain what makes a knot elegant and how to expand the classic repertoire with little-known options.
The subtitle of the work is «A ciência e a estética dos nós de gravata». This book was published in April 2003 and presents the research of Thomas Fink and Yong Mao, physicists at Cambridge.
A manual designed for those who want to master the necktie knot with elegance and for the curious about science applied to everyday life.
Thomas Fink is an Anglo-American physicist, author and entrepreneur. He has published papers in statistical physics and its applications, written two books and designed an iPhone app. He set up the London Institute for Mathematical Sciences and is a manager of research at the French National Centre for Scientific Research.
