Paperback. Etat : Good. Noted mathematician T. H. O'Beirne leads readers through a delightful maze of problems and solutions that are as artfully formed as any great poem or melody.

O'Beirne's emphasis on explanations prepares readers for puzzles of even greater complexity, and solutions are discussed along with the problems. In addition, an illuminating postscript contains extensive historical background and other information to enrich the understanding and appreciation of these stimulating games for the mind.…
