Five modern children are unexpectedly drawn into the world of ancient philosophers, astronomers, and geometers of Ancient Greece. To find their way home, they must gather the scattered fragments of the Book of Forms – a mysterious source of knowledge hidden across cities, centuries, and minds. From Miletus and Croton to Alexandria and Syracuse, the children meet thinkers whose ideas shaped science and philosophy for millennia: Thales, Pythagoras, Euclid, Eratosthenes, Archimedes, Hypatia. Each encounter reveals not only mathematical discoveries, but also the fragile way knowledge is passed from one person to another, from one era to the next. Full-Color Illustrated Paperback Edition *Origins and the Book of Forms* is a philosophical adventure that blends history, mathematics, and storytelling, inviting readers to explore how ideas survive time – and why remembering them matters.
