Reviews
"A clear, accessible, beautifully written introduction not only to imaginary numbers, but to the role of imagination in mathematics." -George Lakoff, Professor of Linguistics, University of California, Berkeley "This absorbing and in itself most imaginative book lies in the grand tradition of explanations of what mathematical imagination is--such as those of Hogben, Kasner and Newman, and Polya's How to Solve It. But it is unique in its understanding of and appeal to poetic thought and its analogues, and will appeal particularly to lovers of literature." -John Hollander "A very compelling, thought-provoking, and even drmataic description of what it means to think mathematically." -Joseph Dauben, Professor of History and History of Science, City University of New York "Barry Mazur's Imagining Numbers is quite literally a charming book; it has brought even me, in a dazed state, to the brink of mathematical play." -Richard Wilbur, author of Mayflies: New Poems and Translations

Synopsis
From the master of suspense, a fierce thriller of terrorism, murder and revenge. In Higgins' acclaimed bestseller DARK JUSTICE, intelligence operative Sean Dillon and his colleagues in Britain and the United States beat back a terrible enemy, but at an equally terrible cost. One of them was shot, another run down in the street. Both were expected to survive - but only one of them does. As Detective Superintendent Hannah Bernstein of Special Branch lies recuperating in the hospital, a dark shadow from their past, scarred deep by hatred, steals across the room and finishes the job. Consumed by grief and rage, Dillon, Blake, Ferguson and all who loved Hannah swear vengeance, no matter where it takes them. But they have no idea of the searing journey upon which they are about to embark - nor of the war which will change them all. Requires ePub-compatible e-book reader (eg Sony Reader) and internet connection to purchase
