1. Zero: A Biography of a Dangerous Idea

The book offers a comprehensive look at number 0 and its controverting role as one of the great paradoxes of human thought and history since its invention by the ancient Babylonians or the Indian people. Even though zero is a fundamental idea for the modern science, initially the notion of a complete absence got a largely negative, sometimes hostile, treatment by the Western world and Greco-Roman philosophy. Zero won 2001 PEN/Martha Albrand Award for First Nonfiction Book.
