Praise for The Book of Wonders:
'An astonishingly readable and informative history of the greatest mathematical bestseller of all time, from ancient Greece to dark energy. The writing is vivid and the stories are gripping. Highly recommended!'
Ian Stewart, author of Significant Figures
'Benjamin Wardhaugh is an excellent storyteller and his collected short story approach to the history of The Elements works splendidly... simultaneously educational, entertaining and illuminating ... A highly desirable read for all those, both professional and amateur, who interest themselves in the histories of mathematics, science and knowledge ... over almost two and a half millennia'
Thony Christie, The Renaissance Mathematicus
Praise for Gunpowder and Geometry:
'Meticulous yet lively biography, even those who have never heard of its subject could hardly disagree'
Sunday Times
'As this book argues persuasively, he changed a whole culture: by simple dint of his genial celebrity as well as a europhile passion for developments in France and elsewhere, he helped to elevate mathematics to a rank equal with the other sciences. It is impossible not to warm to such a man in Wardhaugh's wryly sympathetic telling ... Spirited and elegantly erudite'
