2020 Winner of The Margaret Mallett Award for Children's Non-Fiction

From atoms to beehives to the movement of the planets, everything around us is BUZZING with maths. So how does this language of numbers, symbols and equations make every single thing in our universe tick like an unseen clock? Visualise cosmic distances, discover the geometry in nature and marvel at the wonders of technology.

Learn about mathematics in an extraordinary new light. Stunning surrealist artwork by Ximo Abadìa meets easy-to-read informative text by science writer Colin Stuart to create highly engaging content that will inspire future engineers, mathematicians and scientists.

About the Publisher

Big Picture Press

Big Picture Press books are objects to be pored over and then returned to, again and again... created by and made for the incurably curious. We also recognize that visual excellence enhances the way we read and the stories we are told - whatever corner of the globe you're reading from. And thus our motto, taken from an old Navajo poem: MANY TONGUES ONE EYE.
