In this book, Rice offers a comprehensive history based on the oral
traditions of the Rotinonshonni Longhouse People, also known as the
Iroquois. Drawing upon J. N. B. Hewitt's translation and the oral
presentations of Cayuga Elder Jacob Thomas, Rice records the
Iroquois creation story, the origin of Iroquois clans, the Great
Law of Peace, the European invasion, and the life of Handsome Lake.
As a participant in a 700-mile walk following the story of the
Peacemaker who confederated the original five warring nations that
became the Rotinonshonni, Rice traces the historic sites located in
what are now known as the Mississippi River Valley, Upstate New
York, southern Quebec, and Ontario. The Rotinonshonni creates from
oral traditions a history that informs the reader about events that
happened in the past and how those events have shaped and are still
shaping Rotinonshonni society today.
For the first time, all five of John Napier's works have been
brought together in English in a single volume, making them more
accessible than ever before. His four mathematical works were
originally published in Latin: two in his lifetime (1550-1617), one
shortly after he died, and one over 200 years later. The authors
have prepared three introductory chapters, one covering Napier
himself, one his mathematical works, and one his religious work.
The former has been prepared by one of Napier's descendants and
contains many new findings about Napier's life to provide the most
complete biography of this enigmatic character, whose reputation
has previously been overshadowed by rumour and speculation. The
latter has been written by an academic who was awarded a PhD for
his thesis on Napier at the University of Edinburgh, and it
provides the most lucid and coherent coverage available of this
abstruse and little understood work. The chapter on Napier's
mathematical texts has been authored by an experienced and
respected academic, whose recent works have specialised in the
history of mathematics and whose Journey through Mathematics was
selected in March of 2012 as an Outstanding Title in Mathematics by
Choice magazine, a publication of the American Library Association.
All three authors have revisited the primary sources extensively
and deliver new insights about Napier and his works, whilst
revising the many myths and assumptions that surround his life and
character.
