Book Review, © Copyright 1997, Jim Loy
Martin Gardner is famous for his books and articles on mathematical games and puzzles. These two books are about the "aha!" insight or reaction. This is the moment when your mind leaps to a likely solution, and everything suddenly makes sense. The two books are an interesting collection of puzzles (math, logic, word...) and paradoxes (like the Hotel Infinity). And they are an attempt to help you to make aha! leaps of insight.
