In a sweeping history, Benjamin Wardhaugh traces how an ancient Greek text on mathematics – often hailed as the world’s first textbook – shaped two thousand years of art, philosophy and literature, as well as science and maths.
Out today!
Happy to announce that our project PI Benjamin Wardhaugh's 'The Book of Wonders: The Many Lives of Euclid’s Elements' published by @WmCollinsBooks is out now!
