Description

Gardner has penned another whimsical, informative and totally amusing book (again). The entire thing is a MENSA member's dream come true - a work equally at home in the entertainment and education fields. This is not just one dreary problem after another. Instead, Gardner offers commentary on subjects as far-ranging as time, molecules, chess, cards and electricity. And always he manages to pause for a quick puzzle or two (or three). Terrific read.
