Pi in the Sky: Counting, Thinking, and BeingJohn D. Barrow's Pi in the Sky is a profound and profoundly different exploration of the world of mathematics: where it comes from, what it is, and where it's going to take us if we follow it to the limit in our search for the ultimate meaning of the universe. Barrow begins by investigating whether math is a purely human invention inspired by our practical needs. Or is it something inherent in nature waiting to be discovered? In answering these
John D. Barrow's Pi in the Sky is a profound -- and profoundly different -- exploration of the world of mathematics: where it comes from, what it is, and where it's going to take us if we follow it to the limit in our search for the ultimate meaning of the universe. Barrow begins by investigating whether math is a purely human invention inspired by our practical needs. Or is it something inherent in nature waiting to be discovered? 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.Binding Type: Paperback

Great smell for the summer
Scent: Aquatic
Smells like a variety of citrus and a bit of the classic shower gel, really great scent for the summer and pairs well with colognes of citrus or fresh notes. Doesn't dry out skin and you'll still smell it for a good while on you after a couple of hours for me the scent last maybe 5-6 hours.

Nice refreshing seasonal body wash
Scent: Aquatic
Good fragrance body wash. I really do like cremos limited seasonal fragrances. This one is light and refreshing. Wish it would last a bit longer but overall does lather well and smells great while showering. A little goes a long way so I do appreciate that this bottle should last long. The viscosity of the liquid is easy to pour and suds up nicely with a loofah. Overall good value and would recommend.

Great smell and feel no cream after used .
Scent: Aquatic
I bought this for our son while he stays and visits our home, well he liked this so much he took it home. lol I guess he liked this more then the other scent of him s chemo at his house.
He did say he liked the smell and it’s a good size bottle. Said he don’t have to put a lot of cologne on because this smells so good and he feels really clean.
