Clifton Fadiman's classic collection of mathematical stories, essays and anecdotes first published in 1958, is now back in print. Ranging from the poignant to the comical to the surreal, these selections include writing by Aldous Huxley, Martin Gardner, H.G. Wells, George Gamow, G.H. Hardy, Plato, Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, and many others. Humorous and mysterious, this collection will please mathematicians and everyone else who loves a good story full of stimulating ideas. In this intriguing collection of stories we learn of the young mathematician who chases his fiancee into the fourth dimension, how a group of Australian soldier's lives were saved by a lesson in basic topology, and of Mephisto's search for mathematical truth. Any interested reader will be amused, beguiled -- and perhaps even slightly instructed -- by this wonderfully diverse collection of writing. Clifton Fadiman's prolific career as an essayist, critic, anthologist, and radio show host has spanned the last five decades. His books include The Lifetime Reading Plan and a collection of essays, Party of One. He served for many years on the board of editors of the Book-of-the-Month Club.Binding Type: Paperback

Great end table organizer, Style, size, cost
Color: Brown-2 Set
Good size, very useful tray. The large compartments are laid out well. Small areas good to hold a watch, change, lip balm, etc.
Affordable price and made well, looks more expensive. Keeps "stuff" neat and clean.

I like these helped me organize my mess
Color: Brown-2 Set
I bought the two pack of these to organize a drawer with a bunch of my stuff that was just too cluttered for my liking. I may be mildly ocd. They really improved things. They seem to be decent quality. I consider them to be a good value for the money. They function well for my use and also look good.
