- The secret lives of numbers : a hidden history of math's unsung trailblazers / by Kitagawa, Kate,author.; Revell, Timothy,author.;

But despite its reputation as the study of fundamental truths, the stories we have been told about it are wrong -- warped like the sixteenth-century map that enlarged Europe at the expense of Africa, Asia and the Americas.
