In Great Numbers: How Numbers Shape the World We Live In Publisher / Editions Cahiers d'Art from mountains to coralImagine a world without numbers. How would we ask for three scoops of ice cream? Or know whether weve got 60 minutes left to play with our friends rather than 60 seconds? Over the centuries, people have conceived more and more clever ways to use them to understand the world around us, build cities, find our way home, and more. This title is a fun book that will help children realise how fascinating and exciting numbers can be.
