  WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO COUNT? WHY ARE HUMANS THE ONLY SPECIES ON EARTH THAT CAN DO IT? WHERE DID COUNTING COME FROM? HOW HAS IT SHAPED SOCIETIES ALONG THE WAY? AND WHY DOES IT MATTER? 
  Counting is an innovative, erudite, world-wrapping journey through humanity’s marvellous ability to impose numbers on things. Acclaimed historian and mathematician Benjamin Wardhaugh draws on stories from the Stone Age to cyberspace in pursuit of the elusive, fascinating, endlessly diverse history of human counting. 
  Starting with the roots of counting in human brains, bodies and environments, Wardhaugh tours us around the world and through time while exploring the different flavours of counting that have developed over millennia. We meet the makers of bead necklaces in ancient South Africa, the inventors of writing in the world ’ s first metropolis, and the ‘counter culture’ of classical Athens. We see counting used – and changed – by Indian scholars, Chinese peasants and Papuan shopkeepers; we meet the distinctive numerate agendas of Mayan kings, US governments and Korean vloggers. 
  Weaving these stories together, Wardhaugh shows how cultures have shaped counting, and how counting has shaped culture, in a rich tapestry spanning thousands of years. This is the vast story of human attempts to find some order in an unruly world; or, perhaps, to impose on a reluctant world the order that humans find within themselves. It is a history as wide, deep and tangled as that of humanity itself 
  This best non-fiction book by Wardhaugh is a deep dive into the philosophy and technology behind counting. His teaching style and comprehensive study of mathematics make this book a standout in its genre. 
  For fans of David Spiegelhalter (The Art of Uncertainty), Cat Bohannon (Eve), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Anne Applebaum (Autocracy, Inc), and Peter Frankopan (The New Silk Roads).

  The Antichrist by Friedrich Nietzsche 
  What if everything you believed about morality, religion, and truth was built on a lie? 
  In The Antichrist, Friedrich Nietzsche unleashes a thunderous critique of Christianity and its moral foundations, challenging the pillars of Western thought with fiery precision. A cornerstone of his late philosophy, this work is both an assault on complacent belief systems and a bold declaration of the will to power, vitality, and individual greatness. 
  Nietzsche, a prophet of existentialism and iconoclasm, invites the listener to confront uncomfortable truths. Through razor-sharp aphorisms, he dissects the psychology of faith, the decay of values, and the rise of decadence disguised as virtue. In powerful passages, he exposes how pity can weaken the spirit, how priestly morality undermines life itself, and how the figure of Christ has been distorted into a symbol of weakness rather than strength. 
  Each chapter is a spark that ignites reflection, rebellion, or revelation—yet never leaves you indifferent. 
  More than a philosophical manifesto, The Antichrist remains a cultural lightning rod. Its bold vision continues to resonate in modern debates about freedom, authenticity, and the role of religion in human progress. For thinkers, seekers, and those who dare to question, this audiobook offers a direct channel to one of history’s most electrifying minds. 
  Narrated with the precision and poise of advanced AI voice technology, this edition ensures clarity, rhythm, and accessibility—ideal for absorbing Nietzsche’s provocative arguments while immersed in thought or motion. 
  Dare to confront the uncomfortable. Challenge the herd. Listen to The Antichrist and enter the mind of a philosopher who burned with the desire to awaken humanity from its moral slumber. 
  Experience it now—let the voice of Nietzsche echo through your mind.
