There's a fair bit about zero in a book I just finished, "The Calendar". You sort of need zero for decimals, and when you want to say that the year is 365.2564 days long [the sidereal year, that is, in the year 2000] it gets unwieldy without decimals!
We seem to have something of a paucity of nothing-expressions so far.
