Temporal Viewing The story centers on an invention that allows people to view history by extracting the light which was absorbed by stones throughout history.In using the time viewer, the characters in the book watch the extinction of the dinosaurs, and in particular they follow one dinosaur which they name Belshazzar, who is a massive flesh eater. The reasons this book is not mentioned with the greats today are clear; the science part of the book doesn't really make much sense, nor would it have even when the book was written.Likewise science has shown that the species of dinosaurs that interact in this story, almost certainly were not alive during the same periods of time.On the positive side, this is perhaps the first science fiction story to use the concept of a time viewer.Also, the story itself is fairly well written, and is enjoyable to read. ...

Development of Mathematics
The Mathematicians Bible . . . hardly surpassed;
Go, read, and disagree for yourself.
Spellbinding and Provocative I recommend that one read a more conventional history of mathematics (such as Boyer, Kline or Gratton-Guinness) before attempting this controversial one. Be forewarned that Constance Reid, in her biography of Bell, points out errors in this book. I forgive Bell for those because no one person could possibly comprehend in detail all the abstruse mathematics which he covers relatively well. I recommend this book only to readers already somewhat knowledgeable in mathematics.
A good general outline of Mathematics I would point out that the little time spent on Al-Magi Al-Khawarizmi (literally "The Magus (Zorastarian, not Muslim) from Khazar (near the Caspian Sea)") is justified.Al-Khawarizmi merely translated the formulaic Algebra (which the Indians developed from the Greeks and systemized it from its rhetorical origin) from a Hindu text (brought to the court of the Caliph by Indian Ambassadors seeking trade, they were soon rewarded with Moghul Jihad) and translated the Hindu word for 'reorganisation' or 'rebalancing' into Arabic (Al-Jabr).From there, Spanish scholars were able to access the work.As a translator, AL-Khawarizmi certainly provided a service, but he was a Zorastarian from the biggest population of Zorastarians outside of Persia, Khazar.No self-respecting Muslim would keep "al-Magus" as part of his name after conversion. ...
