â€œWhere else does math become a romp, full of entertaining tricks and turns?â€â€•Bryce Christensen, Booklist

In this hugely informative and endlessly entertaining book, John D. Barrow takes the most baffling of everyday phenomena andâ€•with simple math, lucid explanations, and illustrationsâ€•explains why they work the way they do. His witty, crystal-clear answers shed light on the dark and shadowy corners of the physical world we all think we understand so well. 40 b/w illustrations
