The Art of More: How Mathematics Created Civilization

byMichael Brooks

Focused on how Mathematics Created Civilization, The Art of More brings Michael Brooks's historical account to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of mathematics and science. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
