Features: This book, with its unique and effortless style, bridges the gap between scientific culture and literary culture as defined by C.P. Snow. Besides clear information theory, we also get some humorous anecdotes and jokes; insights from a series of heart-stirring, escalating conspiracies or religious scams; whimsical dialogues between Groucho Marx and Bertrand Russell; an explanation of why the mundane facts of the Simpson case overwhelmingly suggest his guilt; how the mindset of a skywriter reveals signs of math education; why we all seem to be invaded far more often than we invade others; and many other discussions. A highly charming mathematician in the American public has once again devoted herself to this.
