The Book of Numbers: From Zero to Infinity, an Entertaining List of Every Number That Counts - Tapa dura
Sinopsis
From zero to infinity, this entertaining hardback guide opens up a new world of knowledge based on the magic of numbers.
Numbers have occupied our thoughts since man first realized he had not one opposable thumb but two. And from simple enumeration they have grown to be the most important and universal language there is.
The Book of Numbers highlights the dominant role that numbers play in everyday life, as well as exploring how numbers and number systems evolved, and delving into the mysteries of mankind's most powerful numbers:
• What are the top-ten One Hit Wonders?
• What's so magnificent about 7?
• Why is 13 unlucky?
• And who exactly is beast number 666?
From algebra to astrology, music to mythology, from religion to recreation and from science to superstition, The Book of Numbers embraces this infinitely broad subject and puts it all in order-beginning with 0.

Hardback. Condición: Good. Within these pages, every number of significance is listed together with its special qualities and associations, featuring explanations, for example, of how a pack of playing cards came to have fifty-two cards, or why there are fifty-two weeks in a year. Where else in one place could you find out how the illegal numbers racket works, what makes some people see numbers as colors, why the standard US rail gauge exactly matches the axle width of an ancient Roman chariot, and the numerological connection between Adolf Hitler and Osama Bin Laden? Our lives are ruled by numbers and this book tells you about every one that counts. Nº de ref. del artículo: CIN1398839744G
