Burned Alive challenges the accepted history of astronomy and shows how cosmology led Bruno bravely to his death.

Shows us how many mathematical concepts were once considered contrived, imaginary, absurd, or plain wrong. This book explores controversies in the history of numbers, especially the negative and 'impossible' numbers. It uses history, puzzles and debates to demonstrate how it is still possible to devise new artificial systems of mathematical rules.
