In a brilliant feat of storytelling, The Book of Wonders is a new history of culture: a tale about books and their stories, about mathematics and its many-sided relationship with all aspects of human endeavour, and about the search for order and reason in an unruly world.
”An astonishingly readable and informative history of the greatest mathematical bestseller of all time, from Ancient Greece to dark energy. The writing is vivid and the stories are gripping. Highly recommended!” - Ian Stewart, author of Significant Figures
