Synopsis
"Pythagoras's influence on the ideas, and therefore on the destiny, of the human race was probably greater than that of any single man before or after him," wrote Arthur Koestler. Though most people know of him only for the famous Pythagorean Theorem (a2 +b2=c2), in fact the pillars of our scientific tradition-belief that the universe is rational, that there is unity to all things, and that numbers and mathematics are a powerful guide to truth about nature and the cosmos-hark back to the convictions of this legendary sixth-century B.C. scholar. Born around 570 B.C. on the cultured Aegean island of Samos, Pythagoras (according to ancient tales) studied with the sage Thales nearby at Miletus, and with priests and scribes in Egypt and Babylon. Eventually he founded his own school at Croton in southern Italy, where he and his followers began to unravel the surprising deep truths concealed behind such ordinary tasks as tuning a lyre. While considering why some string lengths produced beautiful sounds and others discordant ones, they uncovered the ratios of musical harmony, and recognized that hidden behind the confusion and complexity of nature are patterns and orderly relationships. They had surprised the Creator at his drafting board and had glimpsed the mind of God! Some of them later would also find something darker in numbers and nature: irrationality, a revelation so unsettling and subversive that it may have contributed to the destruction of their brotherhood. Kitty Ferguson brilliantly evokes the archaic world of Pythagoras, showing how ideas spread in antiquity, chronicling the influence he and his followers have had on so many extraordinary people in the history of Western thought and science, and bringing a poignant human saga to readers who are daily reminded that harmony and chaos can and do coexist., This companion book to the Discovery Health Channels upcoming series of the same name synthesizes years of research and groundbreaking experiments to separate fact from fiction in the ever-changing world of food and health., A groundbreaking book that separates fact from fiction in the ever-changing world of food and health, with a foreword by Dr. Mehmet Oz. Not a week passes without one food-related issue or another making the headlines. We worry about additives, preservatives, eating disorders, hygiene, heart disease, cancer, and calories (just to name a few), so it's little wonder that we are utterly confused! In an attempt to make sense of the bewildering and often contradictory information on what to eat and why, the Discovery Health Channel(R) will debut "The Truth About Food" in September 2007. This major five-part series is hosted by Dr. Mehmet Oz, the bestselling author of "YOU: The Owner's Manual," This companion book to the series synthesizes years of research and groundbreaking experiments by leading research centers, hospitals, and doctors, carried out especially for the series. This is the "first" book to finally assemble some of the most important findings and then put them through rigorous testing. FIND OUT IF: Can calcium help you absorb fewer calories? Are there foods that increase male fertility?Are tomatoes are nature's sunscreen? "The Truth About Food" is arranged into six main sections: 1) How to Stay Young and Beautiful 2) How to Be Sexy and Fertile 3) How to Look Good and Stay Slim 4) How to Perform at Your Peak 5) How to Stay Healthy 6) How to Raise Healthy Kids User-friendly and engaging, "The Truth About Food" features over 60 illustrations, clear explanations of scientific terms, helpful tips, chapter summaries, and much more. This is the one food book you won't want to be without!
