Selling of Joseph A Healing Message from History Book

I listened to this as a Libri Vox Audio Book. It was a very good narration.

As can be expected, I learned a lot of history and also more about the different branches of Mathematics and its pioneers.

A book of the author's time and place, it shows how embargos can affect the spread of knowledge.
Destruction of the university in Alexandria, Egypt led to scholars relocating to Byzantium (Istanbul, Turkey)
The scholars in Syracuse kept knowledge to themselves
The conflict between Moors and Christians kept knowledge out of Europe
The first copy of Euclid's Elements that got translated into Latin accelerated study of Math in Europe
The rules of the church kept knowledge within religious institutions
The rules of the church prevented the use of Arabic numerals
The dispute on the origin of calculus between Newton and Leibniz kept England isolated from developments in Europe
The scholar Euler having worked in Prussia, France and Russia helped to spread knowledge

I benefited from the time spent listening.
