The Maker of Moons by Robert W. Chambers. 1896. This is a collection of short stories written by the American writer R. W. Chambers. The collection was published in the late nineteenth century. Most of the stories are romantic, but some are "weird". R. W. Chambers is considered to be one of the writers that influenced H. P. Lovecraft. This book was a PDF that I read using my Kindle. The type was a bit small, but the scan was clean. The scan was made by Google and obtained from books.google.com.

This book discusses the Fibonacci numbers. It gives some of their history and many of the areas of mathematics and science that are touched by this number series. Also, discusses the Lucas numbers and the Golden Ratio. If you enjoy mathematics and numbers then you'll love this book. My only complaint is that the proofs of some of the statements were placed in an appendix instead of inline with the statements. Purchased 10-30-2007 at Powell's, for $28.
