Let’s sail to sleep with more from this remarkable journey around the world. This time, our author is chased by pirates! Also, we cross the doldrums, accidentally ground the ship on the coast of Brazil, and receive kind offers of assistance, which is very nice indeed.

Let’s relax with the conclusion of this curiously wonderful blend of mathematics, philosophy, and social commentary. This time, our square throws off the chains of dimensional thinking and gets rewarded with chains of a different sort. Free thinking is costly, it seems.

Let’s relax with some historical details about Ireland up to the 12th century, including the structure of kings and chiefs, the kingly retinue, and the brehon system of laws that applied to both ruler and ruled, which…seems like a good idea, really.

Let’s return to this classic history of the Roman emperors and hear a bit about a ruler both famous and infamous in his need for public adulation. Why pay attention to affairs of state when you can perform for judges you’ve bribed? Stately!

Let’s continue our sleepy tour of the zoological collections of the British Museum and discover the wonders first being seen by the general public circa 1850. This time, reptiles, the fauna of Great Britain, and some philosophy about our place in the history of living things. Because of course that’s included in a 19th century book.
