I've been savoring the first read (of what I'm sure
will be many reads) of
Sacred Number
by
Miranda Lundy,
published in
John
Martineau's
wonderful series,
Wooden Books.
If you want an overview of the heart of why number
is SO much more than a means toward mundane ends
(not that I have anything against counting beans!
, check out this lovely book. Like
all the gems in the Wooden Books series, this
one is also exquisitely illustrated with
Universal geometric archetypes. Its prose that
weaves together a remarkably diverse cultural
and historical collection of numerical
principles and examples from nature, both
macroscopic and close to our dimensional home
turf. It is a splendid excursion into the
cultural precendents for holding numbers in
mystical esteem, with a wealth of imaginative
directions to explore. Highly
recommended!
