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 number quality; how numbers affect architecture. Lundy explains why the ideas of Pythagoras still resonate, and she profiles each number from one to ten to show its distinct qualities: why, for example, the golden section is associated with five, and seven with the Virgin Mary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52227868590368,"sku":"NEW0802714560","price":26.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91b_gz4tqyL.jpg?v=1787352402","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/sacred-number-the-secret-quality-of-quantities-wooden-books-0802714560","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
