Reviews
'"Alex Bellos's enthusiasm for mathematics shines from every page. His exploration of mathematics deserves to become an instant classic, and may well do so. If you want to get anyone interested in math, yourself included, then this engaging series of encounters is just what you need."- Ian Stewart, author ofProfessor Stewart's Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities, "With humor and profound insights, and an emphasis on elegance and surprise, Alex Bellos has written a truly marvelous survey of modern mathematics. From the mysteries of numbers he plunges into startling aspects of geometry, probability, infinity, non-Euclidian geometry, statistics, origami, and a thousand other wonders of numberland. It is a book that would have delighted mathematician Lewis Carroll. It is a book that will similarly delight anyone tuned to what Bertrand Russell once called the "cold, austere beauty" of mathematics—an incredible region where, unlike fallible science, assertions are true forever and in all possible worlds."- Martin Gardner, for more than 25 years, author of the "Mathematical Games" column inScientific American, "Alex Bellos'sHere's Looking at Euclidis lodged smack in the center of the Garden of Delights, deep in the Enchanted Forest of the Treasure Island of mathematics. Through encounters with a huge gallery of fascinating characters, from the mystic Pythagoras, to the chimp Ayumu, the Godfather of Sudoku, mathemagicianextraordinaireMartin Gardner, and many more, the author leads the way in an unforgetable journey of intellectual discovery, a true transcultural Magical Mystery Tour."- Apostolos Doxiadis, author ofLogicomixandUncle Petros and Goldbach's Conjecture

Synopsis
THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE WINSLOW BREED SERIES--THE PREQUEL TO THE FAMED HOUSE OF WINSLOW BREED SERIES Brandon Winslow would rather gamble and frequent taverns than attend church. So how does he find himself at the forefront of the resistance to Bloody Mary's attempt to eliminate--at sword's point, if need be--the Protestant faith? During the reign of Mary I of England--"Bloody Mary"--young Brandon Winslow (son of Stuart, protagonist of Honor in the Dust, the first book in the Winslow Breed series) finds himself in dire straits. After being flogged and then drummed out of the military for seducing the wife of his commanding officer, he sinks into a life of gambling and petty fraud along with Lupa, the fair gypsy woman who nursed him back to health. After Mary weds Prince Philip of Spain, she begins to work in earnest to establish Catholicism as the only faith in England--and to execute Protestants. When Brandon sees several people burned at the stake in London for their faith, the experience changes him: Even though he has been only a nominal member of the Church of England, he finds himself compelled to stop those responsible for these outrages--and to do so before his uncle Quentin, a pastor, is himself burned at the stake. Unfortunately, the only way to save Quentin and so many others is to make Princess Elizabeth (who is herself in danger of dying at Mary's hand) queen. And that, of course, would be treason. Punishable by death. But then, Brandon has always been a gambler . . ., THE SECOND NOVEL IN THE WINSLOW BREED SERIES--THE PREQUEL TO THE FAMED HOUSE OF WINSLOW BREED SERIES!

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.How to chalk talk, by Harlan Tarbell (#197064259889)
