Life without Zero
‘The point about zero is that we don’t need to use it in the operations of daily life. No one goes out to buy zero fish. It is in a way the most civilised of all the cardinals, and its use is only forced on us by the needs of cultivated modes of thought.’― Alfred North…

Life Is Simple, JohnJoe McFadden (ISBN 978-1-529-36495-8, Basic Books)
I started reading this book at the end of August and only just finished it yesterday. My wife bought it at Dominicanen in Maastricht during our visit there in July and read it on vacation. She asked me to read it as well so we could exchange thoughts about it. The book is a history…
