good resources

Zaslavsky's "Africa Counts" will continue to be widely cherished for many years to come. Anyone haboring the old notion that Africans played no part in shaping world civlilization who is not changed by what appears in this book can only be someone with extraordinary racist tendencies. Zaslavky's book is effulgent because it demystifies mathematics without sacrificing details.

more complex than need to be

I am happy that the book has finally arrived after almost three months of its order in mid-December 2006. Otherwise no lament.
