Dr Taylor (1926 - 2008) was a New Zealand medical practitioner who grew tired of anesthetics being routinely used at childbirth. He developed a program which resulted in all those participating having smooth, drug free natural births.
His theories on birth developed into a theory of mind and a philosophy which he then successfully applied to ordinary arithmetic showing that the theory "added up" literally. The arithmetic is called Circlemaths and opens the door to understanding philosophy, the mind, and funnily enough, birth. He has written many books on all of these subjects.
He is also well known for his 40 day fast against the Vietnam war in the 1970's held in Albert Park.
This book introduces the fundamental concepts behind a new form of calculation, "Circlemaths". Being one of the original books written by Dr Taylor the actual techniques ("COT tables" and so forth) are largely outdated, however what is of tremendous interest is the clear no-nonsense approach to number along with insights into the philosophy which produced the number theory. Not many philosophical approaches can be utilized to produce simple arithmetical results, but this one does. The link between philosophy and number becomes clear as you read.
