About the Author
William Poundstone studied physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

From the Inside Flap
This sharply intelligent, consistently provocative book takes the reader on an astonishing, thought-provoking voyage into the realm of delightful uncertainty--a world of paradox in which logical argument leads to contradiction and common sense is seemingly rendered irrelevant.
