The Book of Little Changes

Three thousand years after humanity vanished from the colony world of New Manchester, the insectoid Keth still wander among the ruins of their mysterious predecessors. The humans crossed the stars. The humans reshaped worlds. >When archaeologist Thrix discovers a strange relic buried beneath an abandoned teaching station, few suspect it will change the fate of an entire civilization. The artifact is a book. Its title: Calculus Made Easy. Mistaken for sacred scripture, the text becomes the foundation of a new religion. Generations of scholars debate its hidden meanings. Noble larvae memorize its passages. Priests argue over the mysteries of "dx" and the nature of change itself. Only one young student dares ask a dangerous question: >As curiosity slowly replaces dogma, the Keth embark upon a journey of discovery that transforms their world. From primitive measurements to spaceflight, from ancient ruins to distant stars, they uncover a truth more powerful than any holy revelation. Humanity's greatest achievement was never a secret formula. >A thoughtful and uplifting science-fiction novel in the tradition of A Canticle for Leibowitz, Children of Time, and Eifelheim, The Book of Little Changes is a celebration of science, education, and the enduring power of ideas.
