Book Description
Hang in there-it's almost over!
Much of the nation has been counting the days since the first inauguration of the president who said, "I'm the commander-see, I don't need to explain-I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being president."
Yes, there is hope-and now you can count down the days while enjoying:
the best of Bush bloopers and blunders
the indictments, scandals, embarrassments and audacity of the president's advisors, admirers (think Harriet), cronies, appointees (see "cronies") and strange bedfellows
Customer Reviews:
What a bunch of bullcrap.......2007-08-03
Only an immature liberal would buy this. Who counts down two full years of their lives just so one president will finally get out of office? Here's a tip for the people that do: go get a life. Bush may not make a good president, but sitting here complaining doesn't do any good. Move on with your own lives and just hope that the next president is better. If he isn't, then what are you going to do about it? Just live with it and stop your whining.
Great Calendar.......2007-06-23
Great Calendar! Funny quips every month. On average five funny items per month. Good sized, functional calendar otherwise. A good purchase.
HOW CHILDISH.......2007-05-01
This calendar is nothing more than your typical liberal sour grapes. Keep it up guys. I like it as it helps our cause. Maybe one of these days the libs will grow up and become educated on the facts of this country and what is really happening.
I Can't Wait.......2007-02-20
Well, it's 2007, and the next Presidental election is coming up in less than two years. And what is a better way to bring it all in than a countdown calendar? True, it will take some time to get this nutjob out of office, but waiting will be twice the fun with this calendar. I highly recommend for people who truly love their country. Now I'm just worried about who our next President will be...
not happy.......2007-02-07
I am very unhappy that I ordered a 2007 calendar on Jan. 4, and have been notified - AGAIN - that its shipment has been "delayed". I cancelled my order today. I will have to reconsider using Amazon for "time sensitive" purchases.
Book Description
In his most ground-breaking book since THE BEST OF TIMES (Fall 2002), Greg Tang underscores the importance of four basic rules in problem-solving. Keeping an open mind, looking for unusual number combinations, using multiple skills (like subtracting to add) and looking for patterns, will guarantee any child success in math. In MATH-TERPIECES, Tang continues to challenge kids with his innovative approach to math, and uses art history to expand his vision for creative problem-solving.
Customer Reviews:
Another great book from Greg Tang!.......2006-07-07
Greg Tang encourages his audience to develop number sense in a lively way. With the help of this and his other books, you can encourage your students to develop a more fluid approach to math. I have used many of his books in my classroom, and find it is best to pre-teach his way of combining number sets before reading the book aloud (just a short lesson).
After introducing several of his books last September, I spent the rest of the year listening to students' spontaneous explanations of how 13 is really just two sixes and one more, or 5 + 8 which is really 5 + (5 + 3), but it's easier to see it as (5 + 5) + 3, and so on. When kids catch on to what he is doing with numbers, it is hard to get them to stop...but why would you want to?
Math and Art - What A Great Combo!.......2003-09-15
I love this book and have shared it with colleagues! What a great idea to combine math and art, and what a great way to tackle problem solving which is not always a favourite with kids! For teachers, it helps us cover two subject areas at the same time which we greatly appreciate. When I saw the cover of this book, I was instantly intrigued. I liked the fact that it's suitable for all age groups -- older students may appreciate the art history aspect more, but the rhymes appeal to all ages. The illustrations jump out, are appealing and make math more interesting. When I showed this book to some of my students, one instantly said that it was "neat" because everyone came up with a different way of getting the answer yet everyone was right, to which I responded with a delighted smile!
Wonderful math/art connection.......2003-08-18
Bravo, Greg Tang has done it once again! This wonderful book is full of authentic masterpieces which Tang recreates to get us looking at the art in a "math kind of way!" This book is super for all elementary levels, kindergarten through grade five. The focus is on addition, and the many ways we can group numbers to get to a given sum. We love it!

Quirky quilting history.......2007-05-13
This is a quirky little book full of newspaper excerpts about quilting. The best part is the background printing on each page which is a close-up of original fabrics used in the featured quilts. A lovely book to go back to and browse over coffee.
Lots of old newspaper snippets about quilts.......2007-04-11
This book was enjoyable, but got to be a little redundant after awhile. I loved the photographs of the antique quilts and quilt tops. A good read, then pass it on to the next quilter you know who is interested in quilt history. I don't consider this a book I would read over and over again.
Bringing together closeup images and close up news reports.......2007-02-18
From the beginning of the 20th century, through 2 World Wars, the Great Depression, the Great Society, the quilt revival, and continuing into the 21st century, quilters have searched their local newspapers, national magazines and books for new patterns and mention of quilts, quilt shows and famous quilters.
In Ms Reich's beautiful new book we will read news of noteworthy quilts and quilters of the 19th century directly from local newspapers of the times. Especially newsworthy were quilts made from "gazillions" of tiny pieces of fabric, painstakingly cut apart and then resewn together in set patterns. It is obvious to this reader that as the 19th century advanced the men who wrote those little filler blurbs became less and less amazed at the feat, and more and more incredulous at why anyone would even attempt such a thing as cutting fabrics into tiny pieces only to sew them back together again into gorgeous patterns. We quilters know why, and so does Ms Reich.
The photos that accompany the text, both in closeup of the fabrics used and the quilts seen as a whole, are incredibly clear and true as to color. Those fabrics are as packed with mouth-watering goodness as a good bar of dark semi-sweet chocolate, and are just as satisfying. In addition the short news articles are often good for a chuckle. This book gives joy on many levels, and as a new addition to the history of quilting is invaluable.

Squeak Carnwath: Lists, Observations, and Counting.......2000-07-20
A wonderful monograph that allows the reader/viewer to explore the world of this delightful California painter. A short essay gives insight to the life of the painter which in turn creates more interest in the work its self. But this book is all about the paintings. The reproductions are of the highest quality. Which allows the viewer not only to examine surface quality but also the use of space on these very rich, flat, and simply complex paintings. What this book illustrates best is the artist's ability to contemplate everyday activities and breath new life into them with richness and humor. Creating unabashed abstractions at the service of visual pleasure. This is an exciting introduction to the wonderful world of Squeak Carnwath.
Book Description
From Zero to Infinity is a combination of number lore, number history, and sparkling descriptions of the simply stated but exceedingly difficult problems posed by the most ordinary numbers that first appeared in 1955 and has been kept in print continuously ever since. With the fifth edition this classic has been updated to report on advances in number theory over the last 50 years, including the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Deceptively simple in style and structure, it is a book to which the reader will return again and again, gaining greater understanding and satisfaction with each reading.
Customer Reviews:
Good but needs to fix errors.......2007-08-13
I found this book very pleasant to read; the practice questions at the end of each chapter are very interesting and encourages deep thoughts and further reading. However, the book contains quite a few errors, mostly typos , and I found the logic of particular chapters difficult to follow (for example, the narration jumps from one topic to another with only loose connection, as if it was merely for bringing up the unrelated but important topic). Overall I feel this book is entertaining to read, but contains errors that need to be fixed.
Old but good writer.......2007-07-15
Constance Reid is one of those authors where I ended up buying everything she wrote. If you are advanced in mathematics she might be a tad elementary; but if you are an imbecile when it comes to mathematics as I am, you may find her interesting. It is number theory; however Reid's relationship with the little fellows seems to be more personal, more introspective than many number theorists.
Numbers being treated with respect.......2000-03-15
Few books capture the range and rapture of mathematics like this one. Even though only twelve numbers are discussed, (zero through 9, e and aleph-zero), many of the trials, tribulations and joys of numbers and their admirers comes through. The style cannot merely be described by the word clarity, as this is a work that can be read by virtually anyone, even though a lot of mathematics is presented.
With numbers being touched, almost lovingly fondled, rather than discussed, this book belongs in every library. And it should be read, and read, and read, . . .

Book Description
From the pyramids to mortality tables, Galileo to Florence Nightingale, a vibrant history of numbers and the birth of statistics. "Brief, lively, and highly entertaining."—William Grimes, New York Times
The great historian of science I. B. Cohen explores how numbers have come to assume a leading role in science, in the operations and structure of government, in marketing, and in many other aspects of daily life. Consulting and collecting numbers has been a feature of human affairs since antiquity—taxes, head counts for military service—but not until the Scientific Revolution in the twelfth century did social numbers such as births, deaths, and marriages begin to be analyzed. Cohen shines a new light on familiar figures such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and Charles Dickens; and he reveals Florence Nightingale to be a passionate statistician. Cohen has left us with an engaging and accessible history of numbers, an appreciation of the essential nature of statistics.
Customer Reviews:
Interesting as a first draft.......2007-06-23
After reading this book, I surmised what another reviewer has confirmed - that I. B. Cohen passed away before he had time to complete this book. It has the feel of notes toward a book - as evidenced by the rather simplistic charts of numbers that really do nothing to illustrate the narrative. That being said, there are some interesting anecdotes about historical figures and their obsessions with numbers, including but not limited to: Napoleon, Galileo, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and a very good chapter on Adolphe Quetelet. This is a short book, written in a clear style, if not as developed as one would expect.
Still a book that I would recommend to readers interested in the modern (although not contemporary) history of the role of numbers in society.
Compelling.......2006-09-08
A compelling review of how counting has created history and changed our lives for the better."
A book about the people who were all about the numbers.......2006-02-03
This is a book about statistics and economics, without the statistics and economics. Cohen explains not just what a census is, or why someone started them, but how people came to realize that census data could be useful in the first place. That's the unique feature of this book - much like the question of who was the first guy to look at a lobster and wonder, is this thing edible?, we find out who was the first guy to look at a register of town deaths and think, "you know, we could tell something about the population of this city from this data!" The book is not about statistics; it's the stories of the people who first came to realize that numbers could be used to improve society rather than just to collect taxes from the populace.
I really enjoyed the anecdotes about the various numerical interests of famous people. For example, Thomas Jefferson's obsessive recording of numbers. Did you know that Jefferson calculated that to keep the populace and the politics of a country in good shape, there should be a minor revolution every 19 years?
Even more did I enjoy reading about Benjamin Franklin's fascination with magic squares. When Franklin was serving as clerk in the Pennsylvania Legislature, he frequently got bored to pieces and solved and designed magic squares. I liked this because when I'm at boring meetings, I hide pages torn from logic puzzle magazines in my notepad, and spend time doing them, and it looks as though I'm diligently taking notes; it is nice to learn that I am following in the footsteps of a master.
Later chapters come back to the part that population counts and demographics played in the founding of the USA, such as examples that a nineteenth century sociologist found of deliberate misuse of population numbers by the Americans in an effort to deceive the British.
As others have noted, the final chapter is about Florence Nightingale. Cohen emphasizes Nightingale's reform of the previously almost-nonexistent record-keeping in hopitals in the Crimea, and how she used this data to show that far more soldiers died of disease than of the wounds that initially brought them to hospitals. The illustration showing Nightingale's diagrams of the causes of death in the British army is neat - the diagrams are essentially pie charts, and when I was teaching quantitative software applications to college undergrads, I would have been quite pleased if they had produced charts this cogent. Nightingale considered this graphic representation of numbers, still a novelty at the time, so important that she had copies of the diagrams framed and sent to government officials, in order to keep the issues before their eyes.
If one expects a book about the development of statistics, then this book would be a disappointment; if one wants the stories of the people who first thought to put the early science of statistics to use for the improvement of society as a whole, then this is exactly what you are looking for. Although it's a bit dry for a popular book, and a bit scattered for an academic book, it is interesting enough to hold the attention of readers who want to know more about how we got the sciences of demographics and sociology, or anyone who ever wondered how insurance companies came to have all those actuarial tables. Among others who might enjoy the book would be young women in high school or college who are considering entering the social sciences; they will find the inclusion of Nightingale inspiring.
Sometimes Fascinating, Often Frustrating, Poorly Organized.......2005-06-11
This posthumously published book was finished only days before his death by I. Bernard Cohen, the founder of the Harvard Department of the History of Science. One has the sense that had he had more time to work on it it might have been better organized and more tightly focused. Although there are many fascinating facts and anecdotes in this short outline of the effects of numbers on modern life and the development of their use over the centuries, there are many divagations that don't add much to the story. When he takes time to correct the French in someone's book title, one wonders why he wastes space on that when he doesn't make it clear why he was citing the book in the first place. Still we meet such well-known characters as Kepler and Galileo, Jefferson and Franklin, and lesser known but fascinating thinkers like André Michel Guerry and Adolphe Quetelet who advanced the science of statistics and applied it to such sociological concerns as crime and punishment. We meet statistical Luddites like Dickens, who thought the collection of demographic data would be used against the average man. We finish with a weak chapter about Florence Nightingale's use of statistics in the medical realm. We do not venture on into the twentieth century.
This is a variably interesting but ultimately not very useful essay, I'm afraid. It is notable for its quirkily amusing anecdotes, but rather falls down when it attempts to convey the important uses to which numbers are put in modern life.
Scott Morrison
Interesting History on Use of Numbers.......2005-05-02
This short book discusses the history of the use of numbers to describe the world. The author starts off with a discussion on how numbers began to be used to describe physical items. Eventually, the discussion focuses mainly on the evolution of the use of numbers in the social sciences - hence, the birth of statistics. The book contains some fascinating information on how social statistics evolved, with an entire chapter devoted to Florence Nightingale. It should be emphasized that the focus is mainly on how numbers came to be used and not necessarily on the actual results obtained; thus, if the reader is expecting to see a discussion of the results, he or she may be disappointed at times. But this is a minor shortcoming. The book is well-written and clear. The author (deceased prior to the book's publication) was a well-seasoned expert on the history of science with a good number of publications to his credit.
Book Description
John D. Barrow's Pi in the Sky is a profound -- and profoundly different -- exploration of the world of mathematics: where it comes from, what it is, and where it's going to take us if we follow it to the limit in our search for the ultimate meaning of the universe. Barrow begins by investigating whether math is a purely human invention inspired by our practical needs. Or is it something inherent in nature waiting to be discovered?
In answering these questions, Barrow provides a bridge between the usually irreconcilable worlds of mathematics and theology. Along the way, he treats us to a history of counting all over the world, from Egyptian hieroglyphics to logical friction, from number mysticism to Marxist mathematics. And he introduces us to a host of peculiar individuals who have thought some of the deepest and strangest thoughts that human minds have ever thought, from Lao-Tse to Robert Pirsig, Charles Darwin, and Umberto Eco. Barrow thus provides the historical framework and the intellectual tools necessary to an understanding of some of today's weightiest mathematical concepts.
Customer Reviews:
Is mathematics real?.......2004-11-15
That may be a silly question. After all, most of us use counting and numerical calculations many times a day. However, the reading matter here digs below the surface, and asks such awkward questions. What is the nature of maths? Would there be any maths if there were no mathematicians?
Starting with theories of counting, and the origins of methods of enumeration, John Barrow plunges headlong into the philosophy of mathematics. Perhaps the book ought to carry a health warning, for it should not be read accidentally. Readers need to have a grounding in some of the great mathematical movements, and discoveries. (Perhaps it is a bit judgmental to even use the word "discoveries"; are mathematical ideas invented or discovered? That topic is part of the subject matter).
I liked the debate, but found the volume hard going. It is not the kind of book to read solidly from cover to cover. A great deal of re-reading is necessary, and picking it up on the train requires a conscious effort to remember what the current debate is about. Some of the arguments are very intricate for those of us who are not mathematicians.
The work of some of the pillars of mathematics are described in varying detail, together with the triple crises that hit maths in the early years of the 20th Century. The optimism of Hilbert on the one hand, or Russell and Whitehead on the other was washed away by the work of Kurt Godel. The Austrian Godel, by the way, has been described as one of the most innovative minds of that century.
There are some interesting insights into some of the characters from the history of maths. Leopold Kronecker did not believe in negative numbers. However, he had been a BANKER. How did he convince his customers that the problems caused by negative numbers (i.e. too little in their accounts) needed to be solved? There were also some disturbing questions raised by the work of Cantor on set theory. This gives rise to a wonderful paradox called "Hilbert's Hotel".
As with many works on philosophy, it is not the answers that are important, it is the questions. Does the entity pi exist, even if there are no mathematicians. Is there really a universal 'pi in the sky', external to any human thought? You decide.

hey mr. wanton arborcide from iceland.......2003-10-16
doesn't the mathematical concept of greater than
come from a human mind? sure, some birds can count and distinguish between object sizes but can they creatively abstract and apply the concept to solve other physical problems?
nope. and if you think the whole book is based
on a false premise, it still has some interesting views, facts and features.
does it warrant a 1 star?
i mean you can learn from everything.
even mistakes.
i mean i learned from you just now.
wanton arboricide.......2003-07-26
The author's leading claim in this book is that "the only mathematics we know is human mind and brain based mathematics." This claim can be understood in either of two ways, which the author does not distinguish from one another. On one hand, by "mathematics" he might mean the practice or family of practices that go by that name (the sort of thing that a math teacher gets paid to teach). In this sense, it is just trivial that the only mathematics we know depends on humans, just as the only civil engineering or basketball we know depends on humans. But let's be charitable, and try to construe the author's claim in a way that does not reduce it to a mere triviality. Let's suppose that by "mathematics" he means not the practice of investigating mathematical fact, but the body of fact thus investigated. But if that is what he means, then his claim is clearly false. It is clearly false, for example, that the fact that 1 is less than a million depends on humans, their minds, or their brains.
Thus, the whole book is premised on a fallacy that can be spotted by a second year philosophy major.
Will There Be Pi in The Sky By and By When You Die?.......2001-11-04
Barrow, an astronomer at the University of Sussex when this book was published, provides an entertaining and informative account of the foundations and philosophy of mathematics. Do mathematicians invent or discover mathematics? What 'reality' do mathematical entities like pi have? What accounts for what physicist Eugene Wigner has called, in a now-famous paper, "The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences" (299)? After an interesting account of the history of counting and numbers, Barrow discusses in succeeding chapters the philosophies of formalism, inventionism, intuitionism, and platonism, a sophisticated version of which he seems to favor. Perhaps most mathematical workers follow what Alfred Korzybski called "the 'christian science' school of mathematics, which proceeds by faith and disregards entirely any problems of the epistemological foundations of its supposed `scientific' activities" (Science and Sanity 748). I commend Barrow because he considers these epistemological questions important and writes about them so engagingly. Barrow's discussions of theories and personalities provide useful background for understanding mathematical foundations. As for Barrow's conclusions, from a non-aristotelian view, the appeal of platonism seems understandable as an example of identification, the confusion of orders of abstracting. Barrow doesn't seem to consider that mathematicians may both invent and discover mathematics. He seems so taken with the effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences that the notion of mathematical entities existing solely as high-order abstractions in human nervous systems seems insufficient to him. As Korzybski pointed out, we live in a world of multi-dimensional, ordered structures or relations. It does not seem unreasonable, then, that we can map this world with an exact language of relations, i.e., mathematics. But as Korzybski also pointed out many times, "the map is not the territory."
Worth a look.......2000-08-31
As someone who barely got through algebra in high school, I can attest that Barrow's book is lucid and engrossing even for the equation-challanged. The book is entertaining and well-written---he manages to hold the reader's interest because he sticks to the interesting theory that underlies mathematics, rather than the nitty-gritty of blah-equals-blah-blah-blah. Why DOES mathematics work so well to describe the real world? We may never know, but it's good to ask the question.

Wonderful and comprehensive elem intro to math history.......2004-08-10
One of the biggest challenges I have had is finding in print books that are as good as some of the stand-by OOP books recommended on the best math reading lists. For example, Lancelot Hogben's The Wonderful World of Mathematics is highly recommended, but oop and also somewhat out of date.
I got this book today and am delighted, I'll be using it for my classes this fall. It is almost a picture book, but dense - enough that I had to re-read parts of it to understand myself. Very highly illustrated so you can *see* what they are talking about, 41 pages, and the history covered is world wide, not just devoted to the Egyptians and Greeks. It is truly a comprehensive and universal history of counting brought down to kid level comprehension.
The print is good sized and spaced well to make it more readable. I'd say it is read alone level for 3rd through 6th. With my own 6 year old I can paraphrase the text and use the great visuals to get the ideas across. There is one page that has a wonderful visual of "body counting" and the wide-spread use of these techniques all over the world actually makes this a good living geography book as well.
For a parent that is very visual, you might like it yourself :o). The artwork isn't juvenile, it's clean and simple, I was very impressed with the book.
For the mathematician in all of us...!.......2000-04-23
Well, maybe for SOME of us! The book presents a fascinating history of...counting. Simple, you say? You just start at 1 and keep going. This is true only since recent history. What led up to this "modern" math? Take a look!
