Reviews'"Alex Bellos's enthusiasm for mathematics shines from every page. His exploration of mathematics deserves to become an instant classic, and may well do so. If you want to get anyone interested in math, yourself included, then this engaging series of encounters is just what you need."- Ian Stewart, author ofProfessor Stewart's Cabinet of Mathematical Curiosities, "With humor and profound insights, and an emphasis on elegance and surprise, Alex Bellos has written a truly marvelous survey of modern mathematics. From the mysteries of numbers he plunges into startling aspects of geometry, probability, infinity, non-Euclidian geometry, statistics, origami, and a thousand other wonders of numberland. It is a book that would have delighted mathematician Lewis Carroll. It is a book that will similarly delight anyone tuned to what Bertrand Russell once called the "cold, austere beauty" of mathematics—an incredible region where, unlike fallible science, assertions are true forever and in all possible worlds."- Martin Gardner, for more than 25 years, author of the "Mathematical Games" column inScientific American, "Alex Bellos'sHere's Looking at Euclidis lodged smack in the center of the Garden of Delights, deep in the Enchanted Forest of the Treasure Island of mathematics. Through encounters with a huge gallery of fascinating characters, from the mystic Pythagoras, to the chimp Ayumu, the Godfather of Sudoku, mathemagicianextraordinaireMartin Gardner, and many more, the author leads the way in an unforgetable journey of intellectual discovery, a true transcultural Magical Mystery Tour."- Apostolos Doxiadis, author ofLogicomixandUncle Petros and Goldbach's Conjecture

SynopsisFour children use their own photos and heartfelt narration to share what it's like to be homeless in this touching collection of words and photographs. Jim Hubbard, founder of Shooting Back, an education and media center that enables homeless children to learn photographic skills and document their world, chose four children from various parts of the country with differing views of what it means to be homeless. Lives Turned Upside Down is a powerful photo essay that provides an emotionally powerful, personal view of an issue that affects us all.
