Interesting read about things that we learn rather than things we innately know. And how they are different between cultures or because of technology. Such as sitting or breast feeding.
I found this story slightly hard to read, maybe because of the translation. But it had some pretty interesting content about the history maths.
I loved this series, cool use of technology and some interesting social and political ideas about the future. If you liked the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson I think you would like this.
I read this book after watching “Samurai – Miyamoto Musashi” on Discovery channel. The introduction to this book telling the history of Miyamoto Musashi is quite different to the doco, but I found both pretty interesting.
Lots of interesting strategy ideas and ancient thinking that can be applied to the modern world.
The way to learn this is to train with two long swords, one in each hand, It will seem difficult at first, but everything is difficult at first.
