The Loom of God by Clifford A Pickover
From the mysterious cult of Pythagoras and the awesome mechanics of Stonehenge to the 'gargoyles' and fractals on computers, this book explains the eternal magic of numbers. It explores how individuals used numbers for such purposes as predicting the end of the world, finding love and winning wars.
