Items related to Secrets of Creation, Volume 1: The Mystery of the Prime...
The Mystery of the Prime Numbers uses an innovative visual approach to communicate some surprisingly advanced mathematical ideas without any need for formulas or equations. The issue of prime numbers acts as a gateway into some truly strange philosophical territory whose relevance extends well beyond mathematics.

Review:
The Secrets of Creation trilogy is one of the most remarkable works of maths popularisation that I have read. Matthew Watkins has a gift for exposition, a gushing passion for his subject and a completely fresh way of approaching basic and not so basic mathematical ideas. He has written a brilliantly original work that is both whimsical and cosmically profound. I would recommend it to anyone. --Alex Bellos, author of Alex's Adventures in Numberland
