The average rating for History of the Circle Mathematical Reasoning and the Physical Universe based on 2 reviews is 4 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2010-03-30 00:00:00 Timothy Pickens Zebrowski discusses the use of mathematics in science. The puzzle is how concepts derived from deductive reasoning can be useful in describing the world, when the latter is an inductive process. Many examples given, mainly from physics.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-24 00:00:00 Anthony Georma "Wherever the working masses do not let themselves be subjugated, wherever they cultivate the love of independence, wherever they concentrate their class will, they will always create their own historical social movement, they will act on their own. This is the essence of the Makhnovshchina." There have been few attempts in the modern era to create a stateless society, on a large scale and defended with arms. The Makhnovshchina represents one of the most impressive, lasting three years. Engaged in bloody struggle with Austro-German invaders, "Petliurists" (national bourgeois movement), the White generals Denikin and Wrangel, as well as the Red Army headed up by Trotsky, the anarchist-Makhnovists had little opportunity for creative social experiments, and much of this is military history. But whether they were dynamiting prisons, facilitating peasant congresses, executing landlords, or putting on theater for the people, the Ukrainian insurgents everywhere planted the idea of social revolution and a "free soviet system." Exhausted by war, the Black Army was finally doomed by Trotsky's final betrayal in Crimea, and the Cheka and commissars imposed murderous dictatorship in the name of their "scientific socialism."
