«A nuanced understanding of working with numbers, gently connecting procedures that we once learned by rote with intuitions long since muddled by education... Lockhart presents arithmetic as a pleasurable pastime, and describes it as a craft like knitting.»
Jonathon Keats, New Scientist

«What are numbers, how did they arise, why did our ancestors invent them, and how did they represent them? They are, after all, one of humankind's most brilliant inventions, arguably having greater impact on our lives than the wheel. Lockhart recounts their fascinating story... A wonderful book.» Keith Devlin, author of Finding Fibonacci

«Inspiring and informative...deserves to be widely read.»
Wall Street Journal

«This fun book offers a philosophical take on number systems and revels in the beauty of math.»
