Publisher's Synopsis
The invention of numerals is perhaps the greatest abstraction the human mind has ever created. Virtually everything in our lives is digital, numerical, or quantified. The story of how and where we got these numerals, which we so depend on, has for thousands of years been shrouded in mystery. 'Finding Zero' is an adventure-filled saga of Amir Aczel's lifelong obsession: to find the original sources of our numerals.
