My review of Benjamin Wardhaugh’s fascinating volume, The Book of Wonders: The Many Lives of Euclid’s Elements
https://t.co/burIdU2B3V

[William Collins Books @WmCollinsBooks]

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!
