Editorial Review Product Description An award winner in Canada, Life of Pi, Yann Martel's second novel, should prove to be a breakout book in the U.S. At one point in his journey, Pi recounts, "My greatest wish--other than salvation--was to have a book. A long book with a never-ending story. One that I could read again and again, with new eyes and fresh understanding each time." It's safe to say that the fabulous, fablelike Life of Pi is such a book. --Brad Thomas Parsons Customer Reviews (1998)
A story to contemplate for years to come...
More than meets theeye

list price: US$19.99 -- used & new: US$2.40 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 0316082597 Average Customer Review: Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description 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 (8)
Might have been a classic if .. .
Is mathematics real?
hey mr. wanton arborcide from iceland
wanton arboricide Thus, the whole book is premised on a fallacy that can be spotted by a second year philosophy major.

list price: US$13.00 -- used & new: US$7.45 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 1566568374 Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description With an uncommon blend of elation and discretion, The Life and Memoirs of Doctor Pi takes readers on a journey of mysterious encounters, unspoken agreements, ofï¬cial-esque errands, and romantic escapades. Doctor Pi is an unflappable, perfectly human superhero-charismatic, artful, and with an understated swagger, master of his familiar yet impossible world. With its uncanny trust in language's capacity to capture that world in all its strangeness, The Life and Memoirs of Doctor Pi is delightful, mischievous, captivating in its suggestions of deeper literary and cultural intrigues. In the life of Doctor Pi, the familiar is rendered strange, but recognizable; the anticipated act is always fulï¬lled, but never as expected; and though consequences do ensue, they are never foreseeable, nor repeatable, and usually not very reasonable, either. To read Doctor Pi is to set forth on an expedition like no other--impossible to turn back from, impossible not to lose oneself in. |
