The Mysteries of the Real Prime (London Mathematical Society Monographs New Series)

Review
"The problem is not with the primes themselves, explains Haran (mathematics, Israel Institute of Technology): the primes are just a set and, to put as diplomatic spin on it as objective science permits, there is not much interesting to say about them as such. The problems arise--and some interesting problems indeed--when the primes begin interacting with other sets. He takes the set of real numbers, as one of many completions of the rational numbers, and searches for the secret of the real prime."--SciTech Book News

adics. You also get a real sense that the proof of the greatest problem of all - the Riemann Hypothesis - is not far away if Haran's philosophy is pursued just one step further....
