As Lao Tse is typically considered an older contemporary of Confucius, that would place the origins of this work roughly within the late 5th to early 8th centuries BCE. The name of this period is derived from the Spring and Autumn Annals, a chronicle of the state of Lu between 722 BCE and 481 BCE, traditionally associated with Confucius. The origins of the Tao Te Ching are unclear, but historians agree that it first appeared during the Spring and Autumn Period of ancient China, which places its genesis sometime during the second half of the 8th century BCE to the first half of the 5th century BCE. The name itself is typically translated The Classic of the Way and Its Virtue, where Tao is translated as "The Way", Te is translated as "Virtue", and Ching translates to "Classic". It is one of the most translated works in world literature, second only to the Bible. The Tao Te Ching (pinyin, Dàodéjīng traditional Chinese, 道德經 simplified Chinese, 道德经 pronounced, approximately, "dow deh jing"), although likely the product of several different authors, is a treatise attributed to Lao Tse (Lao Tzu, Laozi) that is considered to be one of the core doctrines of philosophical Taoism (Daoism).

An extensive author’s note includes a bit more biographical information about Erdos and points to George Csicsery’s 1993 film N is a Number as well as to Heiligman’s website for links for further exploration. She populates his adulthood with his affectionate colleagues, even including a graph with Erdos at the center of several dozen of the great mathematical minds of the 20th century to illustrate the whimsical “Erdos number” concept. She uses a slightly retro palette and line to infuse Erdos’ boyhood surroundings with numbers and diagrams, conveying the idea that young Paul lived and breathed math. The polished, disarming text offers Pham free rein for lively illustration that captures Erdos’ childlike spirit. Erdos was known for his ineptness at practical matters even as he was treasured, housed and fed by those with whom he collaborated in math. Unmoored from the usual ties of home and family once grown, he spent most of his career traveling the world to work with colleagues. Paul Erdos was sweetly generous throughout his life with the central occupation of his great brain: solving mathematical problems. Heiligman’s joyful, warm account invites young listeners and readers to imagine a much-loved boy completely charmed by numbers. An exuberant and admiring portrait introduces the odd, marvelously nerdy, way cool Hungarian-born itinerant mathematical genius.

With a mounting interest in history related to Indiana’s Bicentennial, now is an opportune time to uncover and share untold parts of Indiana’s history.ĭespite a rich history, little is known about the African-American experience from the state’s founding to the Civil War era. These untold stories have the potential to evoke pride and add a level of complexity to our understanding of black heritage and Hoosier history. This generalized thinking situates Indiana’s African-Americans as part of a national story, but fails to reveal the stories of free blacks and formerly enslaved people who settled the state much earlier. Popular understanding of Indiana black history focuses on post-Civil War African-American migration to cities in the north, such as Evansville, Fort Wayne, Gary, Indianapolis and South Bend.
