About This Item
US: Wiley, 1990. Paperback. Very Good. This is an illustrated guide to a wonderland of reason where nothing is as it seems, through a maze of mental curiosities and contradictions. It discu sses paradoxes of all types--mathematical, logical, scientific, philosophic al and more. Though many involve sophisticated concepts and logical reasoni ng, none requires a highly technical background-knowledge of ordinary langu age and simple arithmetic will do. Twenty-five stand-alone chapters each pr esent and discuss a different paradox, including: the Barber Paradox; the C rocodile's Dilemma, M. C. Escher's Paradoxes, the Liar Paradox, the Prisone r's Dilemma, the Raven Paradox, Zeno's Paradox, and many others. Each chapt er features an end note indicating related paradoxes elsewhere in the book. Includes 118 mind-boggling illustrations, optical illusions and visual acr obatics.
