User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐It’s ok. Reads like a documentary.

⭐Good, but not one of his best – for my taste anyway.

⭐This book is another great collection of problems, discussions, and mathematical curiosities from Martin Gardner – and one of his best.In this book, Martin Gardner has assembled an absorbing discussion on the theoretical aspects and possibility of time travel, including the many paradoxes that may arise; two problem collections to give to try out yourself and give to your friends; two chapters on tangrams and tiling each; along with 15 more chapters on interesting topics such as the melody-making machines, anamorphic art, block packing and more.Particularly interesting are the chapters “Six Sensational Discoveries” and “Dodgem and Other Simple Games.” The former is a collection of six April Fool’s jokes he published in April of 1975. The latter is an extensive and occupying discussion of simple games that one can play with friends, along with winning strategies for some and just mathematical theories for others.I strongly recommend this book for those interested in mathematical curiousities and the likeness. It is especially interesting for children of ages 6-12; they may not understand everything, but certain chapters they will remember and revisit forever!

⭐ISBN 0-7167-1925-8 is for the PAPERBACK version of this title. I’m holding a Paperback copy in my hands as I type this. Printed in softcover is ‘ISBN 0-7167-1925-8 (pbk.)”.But Amazon has “ISBN-10: 0716719258” listed under this listing for the Hardcover version; and this appears to be an error. If you want a Hardcover version, you’ll be taking your chances until this error is corrected.Amazon should review their ISBN database. This is the 2nd time that this sort of ISBN Hardcover / Paperback error has happened to me.
