This is a book for the observant and the curious. A book for people who take in their surroundings and wonder at the smallest detail: why? Above all, it's a book about numbers - those that surround us every day, and the intriguing stories behind them.
From the 7-day week to 24-carat gold, Chanel Number 5 to five-star luxury, "The Secret Lives of Numbers" figures out the mysterious background to the numbers we encounter on a daily basis.
Revealing the facts behind those figures, Michael Millar outlines where to spot each digit, what it means and how it came to be in meticulously researched and entertaining entries, creating an absorbing and intelligent book that's perfect for any numbers fan. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3...
Entries include: sports shirt numbers, firearms calibres, TV ratings, football rankings, poker scores, suncream factors, A4 paper, and more.

Used book in very good condition. If you look closely, there is a light blemish on the dust jacket, likely from water or coffee. The book itself is nice and clean - no notes or markings.
Will be sent with Dao (Fiks Færdig). In-person pickup is not possible.
