The book is an adventure into the parts of knowledge that are taken for granted. Science and humanities have bridges that unite them, and there is a whole hidden world of connections that we do not learn at school, since teachers fixate on the division between the so-called 'two cultures'. Here, however, we get to show how mathematics can be considered a humanistic subject and all science is a special branch of literature. After all, every scientific discovery can be treated and examined with the same categories that are used for fairy tales or novels. Also 'sales techniques' enter into scientific demonstrations much more deeply than it appears. Therefore, perhaps, we should no longer talk about the rigor of science but about aesthetic research which should lead to approaching perfection and therefore the accuracy of things (at least until the opposite is proved). This volume is an interesting read for both academics and non-specialists.

Maria Rosa Menzio holds a degree in Mathematics from the University of Turin, Italy, and she is a Philosophy of Science scholar. She worked for the National Research Council (CNR) and discovered the Menzio-Tulczjew Theorem. Now she directs the Cultural Association 'Theatre and Science'.
