Rogerson's Book of Numbers tells the stories behind our iconic
numbers. It is based on a numerical array of virtues, spiritual
attributes, gods, devils, sacred cities, powers, calendars, heroes,
saints, icons and cultural symbols. It provides a dazzling mass of
information for those intrigued by the many roles numbers play in
folklore and popular culture, in music and poetry, and in the many
religions, cultures and belief systems of our world. The stories
unfold from millions to zero: from the number of the beast (666) to
the seven deadly sins, the twelve signs of the zodiac to the four
suits of a pack of cards. Along the way you will discover why
Genghis Khan built a city of 108 towers, how Dante forged his
Divine Comedy on the number eleven, and why thirteen is so unlucky
in the west while fourteen is the number to avoid in China. Now
available as a paperback, this is your pocket-book guide to the
numerical mysteries of the universe.
