Ah bravo Günther, now I am depressing :(
I don't succeed in finding my Steinhart book. I don't either find the
book on the net, and I begin to doubt it is a book by the same
Steinhart. I have some doubt that "my Steinhart" has "Eric" as first
name. I remember only that the book was taking Pythagorus very
seriously, which is rare in the literature.
Once I find the information, I will let you know. Your Steinhart seems
interesting too (and open to Pythagorus), like Leslie is interesting
too, btw. Of course those people seems not to be aware of all the
progress in the field ...
Have a good day,
Bruno
