### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    This is the only book I've found that covers this gigantic subject
  

*by V***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2023*

There are many excellent books out there that cover these subjects individually in more detail.  This book presents an overview of everything.  The print is small.  Words are not wasted.  Photographs are second rate.  I get a sense of accuracy in what he is saying.  It is a book for people academically interested in whatever he is talking about.  It is not  like a Life Magazine publication.  However, in no way is it  boring and every sentence is providing new information.  I do not consider myself expert in the fields he covers, but I can say that I never found anything wrong.  Nor did he repeat popular misconceptions.  Menninger even discusses the mind-set of the people creating these symbols.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Number Mystery
  

*by D***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2007*

Because numbers have both a physical reference and a spiritual mystery, they are fascinating.  This book helps me understand the meaning of number both historically and currently.
