Bez měření bychom nebyli schopni navrhovat, konstruovat ani stavět. Nedokázali bychom zkoumat svět, vynalézat a objevovat nové věci a jevy. Kniha provází cestou do minulosti, až k samým počátkům matematiky a měření. Seznámí s matemagiky – učenci, kteří se prostřednictvím magie čísel snažili pochopit svět a objasnit tajemství vesmíru. Příběh dojde až do současnosti a odkryje vynalézavé metody, s jejichž pomocí dnes přicházíme na kloub naprosto všemu. Po přečtení knihy budete umět odpovědět na provokativní otázky autora. Dokážete si zvážit hlavu, aniž byste si ji museli useknout? Víte, proč má většina lidí větší než průměrný počet nohou?
