The Book of Numbers: From Zero to Infinity, an Entertaining List of Every Number That Counts - Hardcover
Synopsis
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.

About the Author
Tim Glynne-Jones is a journalist living and working in the UK. In his career, he has covered a range of subjects, including music, motoring, sport, and food, and he has written three books on football. From pop charts to menu items, numbers have played a key part in all his writing, although he admits he didn't realize just how key until he came to write this book. He has one wife, two children, three points on his driving licence, and he has lived at numbers 2, 4, 14, 33, and 111. Make of that what you will.
