这是一部描写在日常生活中猫与人类之间相互关系的幽默故事， 我们的主人公麦克，毫无疑问是只猫， 但故事同样也反映了人类的态度。 在故事中，猫似乎成了反映人类着“超级物种”的一面镜子。 一天，麦克出现在漫画家小林的家中。 即使从那一天起，小林和他的妻子便开始尽力与麦克相处， 猫想上他自己的事情，而人类则时时要改变它，这便是故事矛盾的主线。 麦克仅是一只不同的猫。 自由，冷漠而懒散，身边围绕着那些来去匆匆的人类。 而作为猫，他也有自己的事情要处理，与凶猛的母猫猫斯拉相处就是一个例子。 猫斯拉甚至连狗都惧怕她三分，更不要说麦克了。 但麦克还有他惟恐避之不及的事情，那就是孩子的玩弄。 故事当中有很多情节都将猫拟人化，例如，我们经常可以看到他们在一起开会或踢球等等……

Numbers permeate every aspect of our lives; very little happens without a basic ability to manipulate the simple whole numbers we all take for granted. Beautifully illustrated with old engravings as well as contemporary imagery, Sacred Number introduces basic counting systems; significant numbers from major religious texts; the importance of astronomy, geometry, and music to nu...(展开全部)

From the reviews: "...a fine book [...] When it appeared in 1949 it was a pioneer. Now there are plenty of competing accounts. But Hasse has something extra to offer.[...] Hasse proved that miracles do happen in his five beautiful papers on quadratic forms of 1923-1924. [...]It is trite but true: Every number-theorist should have this book on his or her shelf." --Irving Kaplans...(展开全部)

The central theme of this book is the solution of Diophantine equations, i.e., equations or systems of polynomial equations which must be solved in integers, rational numbers or more generally in algebraic numbers. This theme, in particular, is the central motivation for the modern theory of arithmetic algebraic geometry. In this text, this is considered through three of its mo...(展开全部)

What is the meaning of life? It is a question that has intrigued the great philosophers--and has been hilariously lampooned by Monty Python. Indeed, the whole idea strikes many of us as vaguely pompous, a little absurd. Is there one profound and mysterious meaning to life, a single ultimate purpose behind human existence? In What's It All About?, Julian Baggini says no,...(展开全部)
