Numerology, Or, What Pythagoras Wrought

Voorkant
Cambridge University Press, 1997 - 316 pagina's
"Numerology is about numerology, which is the delusion that numbers have power over events. ... The message of the book is that numbers indeed have power, but the power is not over events, it is over the human minds. It is intended for anyone interested in human folly and requires no mathematical knowledge beyond arithmetic to understand."--Cover
