Here is an altogether new, refreshing, alternative history of math revealing how simple questions anyone might ask about space -- in the living room or in some other galaxy -- have been the hidden engine of the highest achievements in science and technology. \u003cbr\u003e Based on Mlodinow's extensive historical research; his studies alongside colleagues such as Richard Feynman and Kip Thorne; and interviews with leading physicists and mathematicians such as Murray Gell-Mann, Edward Witten, and Brian Greene, \u003ci\u003eEuclid's Window\u003c\/i\u003e is an extraordinary blend of rigorous, authoritative investigation and accessible, good-humored storytelling that makes a stunningly original argument asserting the primacy of geometry. For those who have looked through \u003ci\u003eEuclid's Window,\u003c\/i\u003e no space, no thing, and no time will ever be quite the same.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003eCurt Suplee \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e High-spirited, splendidly lucid and often hilarious.\u003cbr\u003eMichael Guillen author of \u003ci\u003eFive Equations That Changed the World\u003c\/i\u003e How often can you say that a book on math -- on math! -- is a real page-turner? Well, this one is. As engaging as a soap opera, as fascinating as a whodunit, as funny as the Sunday comics, Mlodinow's book is storytelling at its best.\u003cbr\u003eBrian Greene author of \u003ci\u003eThe Elegant Universe\u003c\/i\u003e There is perhaps no better way to prepare for the scientific breakthroughs of tomorrow than to learn the language of geometry, and \u003ci\u003eEuclid's Window\u003c\/i\u003e makes this task lively and enjoyable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9780684865249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Free Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40941729906894,"sku":"9780684865249","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/O_ffdb7288-8ff1-4d9d-9042-d0274ef9f2b4.jpg?v=1645908974","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9780684865249","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
