Book was more than I expected. Tied in many stories dating back to the early 1900's and the beginning of AT&T. Excellent read, very entertaining and well researched.

4. Gaming the Vote: Why Elections Aren t Fair (and What We Can Do About It) Gaming the Vote: Why Elections Aren't Fair (and What We Can Do About It)
from Hill and Wang
Price: $10.00

Customer Review:
I have liked several of Poundstone's books but this one is a loser. He makes much of Arrow's Impossibility theorem, but never explains a proof. And the underlying premise of the whole book is that the democrats are entitled to Nader votes, and the gop is entitled to Libertarian party votes, and the... more info

5. Labyrinths of Reason: Paradox, Puzzles, and the Frailty of Knowledge Labyrinths of Reason: Paradox, Puzzles, and the Frailty of Knowledge
from Anchor
Price: $10.04

Customer Review:
This is a fun book on logic, pardoxes and puzzles. It's a good mental tune-up and reminder of the limits of what we think we know. Poundstone is an entertaining writer who knows how to take us through the logical steps without making feel like work.

from Little, Brown and Company

Customer Review:
A must read for senior executives and human resource managers. It moves you away from conventional interviewing scene and gives you a whole new perspective. I think we all know the "cliche" answer to this question by now: Where do you see yourself in 5-10 years?. I believe everyone in the corporate... more info

8. [no image] The Recursive Universe: Cosmic Complexity and the Limits of Scientific Knowledge
from Contemporary Books

Customer Review:
Although this book was written in the 80's it is still up to date as it covers timeless aspects of physics. The book alternates chapters on Conway's Game of Life with chapters on physics. There is a lot of clearly explained chapters on information theory including Maxwell's Demon and the solution to... more info

Customer Review:
Imagine a collection of the most fun gossip columns you can think of, but take out most of the celebrity sex stories and replace them with "cool" stuff that you can try out (or always wondered about) at home. Maybe there are just little things you always wondered about (what exactly is "mystery... more info

from Harper Paperbacks

Customer Review:
Yes, it's true that this book is over 20 years old and contains a bit of outdated information. So what? It's still an enormously entertaining read, and contains much information that is not outdated at all, such as the actual inkblots used in the Rorschach test. Putting together this sort of book a... more info
