THOMAS DE PADOVA
In the 15th and 16th centuries, mathematics was
revived in Europe. Arabic numerals, including
the hitherto unknown zero, conquered
commercial life and were combined to produce
formulas for the first time. The invention of
the central perspective and the rediscovery of
Greek geometry fundamentally changed art
and science. Pictures were now windows onto
the world, as was the new form of mathema-
tics. Regiomontanus and Albrecht Dürer in
Nuremberg played roles in this unprecedented
change that were equally as important as
Leonardo da Vinci and Girolamo Cardano in
Milan.Quick-witted and with a keen eye for
hidden elements, The Power of Numbers
The birth of modern
leads us to the moment when plus, minus and
multiplication signs were invented. Thomas de
Padova recounts an exciting chapter
in the history of mathematics and reveals
mathematics a new perspective on the vibrant historical
epoch of the Renaissance.

They grip and feel, caress and hit. We wave
them to welcome people and use them to sign

as our hands. Their prominent role in our
lives is evident in everyday language: we
›take something in hand‹, we cannot dismiss
something ›out of hand‹ and we see a goal
›within hand’s reach‹ – if we don’t have ‘two
left hands’ at least. Jochen Hörisch shows us
a whole variety of hands that can be found
throughout literature and the history of ideas.
Perhaps it is no coincidence that the most
famous figure in German literature is called
Faust (›fist‹ in English). Generations of people
before us have felt ›saved by the hand of God‹
From Goethe’s Faust to a »handball« and today, many trust the ›invisible hand‹ of
the market. Each era has its own associations

They once lived freely like wolves – they
were wolves. At some point, however, they
became closer to people. Ten thousand gene-
rations later they have evolved into dogs,
special creatures that are our mirror.
Josef Reichholf explores one of the oldest
relationships in human history: the friendship
between dog and human. In a style typical
of his scientific prose, he combines personal
stories with current research on the biology
and evolution of the dog. Were wolves really
domesticated by humans – or did dogs evolve
by themselves? How can the special relation-
ship between dogs and humans, a pet owned
by nearly 10 million households in Germany,
be explained? Entertaining and with professi-

of answers and reveals some fascinating
facts for all those who want to understand
