This eminently readable book explores the symbolic and
psychological aspects of numbers. The author shows that numbers are
far more than the symbols we use for counting, for they are founded
on a deep psychic structure that underlies many of our thoughts and
behaviors. Numbers also give shape and meaning to our socially
constructed world. Enigma reads like a mystery novel as it traces
the first appearance of numbers in Paleolithic times through
Eastern and European countries and Meso-America. And while the
author does consider the mathematical properties of numbers, the
book is aimed at the intelligent layperson with an interest in the
more esoteric and psychological aspects of mathematical ideas. It
will also have a strong appeal to those interested in popular
science and in Jungian ideas. Each of the numbers, from zero to
ten, is given its own chapter and there are also chapters on number
symbolism in the Kabbalah, divination, music, religion, and
mythology.
