Ever wonder about the history of numbers? Some of the secrets are out with the publication of a new book “Perfect Figures: The Lore of Numbers and How We Learned to Count” by Rockland County resident Bunny Crumpacker. Later this month, she will be featured at her hometown library in Valley Cottage, where librarians say she often comes in to browse and do her own research. On Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. she will talk about her new book and sign copies.
According to the library’s Web site “Perfect Figures” tells the history of each number 1-12 and how numbers are viewed in many cultures. Crumpacker explores the prevalence of figures in our lives, and how they came to be in different places and at different times. Her previous book was the “Sex Life of Food.”
Registration is required because of limited seated, so contact the Valley Cottage Library, 110 Route 303, 845-268-7700.
