This book is a country walk through the magical world of numbers. Most people will have recognized some of the fascinating patterns exhibited by many numbers; some of these indicate a deep and complex structure, which is revealed in this book in a way that is accessible to all, from amateur to expert. The author focuses on powers of numbers, which have been studied from the time of Pythagoras until the present day, with the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem. Indeed, some of the results described by the author were only established quite recently, giving the book a very contemporary flavor. In sum, this will make a stimulating resource for teachers of mathematics and will be a fund of knowledge for amateurs.
