Numbers are an important feature of almost all known cultures. In this detailed anthropological study, Thomas Crump examines how people from a wide range of diverse cultures, and from different historical backgrounds, use and understand numbers. By looking at the logical, psychological and linguistic implications, he analyses how numbers operate within different contexts. The a...(展开全部)

Turner is all over the globe as he addresses issues of cultural performance, carnival, film, theatre, and "performing ethnography" to break new ground in anthropological thinking about event, spectacle, and audience. One of his last writings, "Body, Brain, and Culture" links cerebral neurology and anthropology studies in a fascinating interface.

蔡天新编著的《数之书》是一本有关整数（有时也涉及有理数）的书，是每一位受过中等或高等教育的人都能看懂或部分看懂的书。本书共有7章，内容包括：整除的算法、同余的概念、同余式理论、平方剩余、n次剩余、整数幂模同余和加乘数论等。前5章及其补充读物仍构成《初等数论》的教学内容，最后两章不在此课程的讲授范围之内，但第6章与同余式紧密相关，且能够伸手触摸到。至于本书的最大特色，可能要数每节后面的补充读物。这种形式是一种尝试，希望借此拓广读者的知识面和想象力，递增他们对数论的兴趣和热爱。本书可供数学及相关专业的教师、学生阅读参考，也可供数学爱好者自学使用。
