Begegnungen mit Euklid – Wie die »Elemente« die Welt veränderten

On the heels of Euclid - a grandiose narrated journey to the beginnings of mathematics
For twenty-three centuries, Euclid's "Elements" have shaped the world. The compilation of facts about space and its properties - lines and figures, numbers and ratios - still determine philosophy, art, music, literature and mathematics today. Thirteen volumes that not only wrote scientific history, but also became the first global bestsellers.
Benjamin Wardhaugh dusts off Euclid's legacy and embarks on a journey through time. From Ptolemy to Isaac Newton, from Lewis Carroll to Max Ernst - we experience first-hand the influence of the "elements" on the respective times and their protagonists. The exciting story about the fundamental work of human knowledge.
