This little book reminds me of my childlike delight in discovering all these crazy patterns in nature while reading about people like Plato and Pythagoras. Yes, Pythagoras, the guy who believed everything could be expressed in numbers, even God, and asserted and proved some very cool maths.
As adults we take so much for granted, but when you sit down and read about how things are connected, the patterns and numbers and the way they're related, it brings back that sense of awe and wonder in the miracle of existence.
This book contains Proper Science; not cosmological speculations, but pure facts and the fun of numbers. It will make you think and it will make you smile.
