In this book of mathematical stories, the well-known and highly esteemed author provides a surprisingly entertaining tour of unfamiliar territory. He describes stories about numbers, problems, people who do math, and the places where mathematical discoveries are made (such as desks, libraries, beds, and churches). You'll discover that counting can be quite difficult'for example, news reports claiming that "bees can count" show that journalists can't count and people who shun 13 must assume that gods can't count.
