Representaion In Favor Of Books Labyrinths of Reason: Paradox, Puzzles and the Frailty of Knowledge

For science nerds this is a good read. But it is dated. There are several logical paradoxes related to computational algorithm which modern computers have made irrelevant. Nevertheless most of what is in this book is quite relevant - and will remain so forever. This book covers almost exactly the same material as a college course in formal logic did that I took at Univ of Pennsylvania in 1971. It was interesting then - and remains interesting now. But it gets formal sometimes and can be slow going.

Just great. I have read this over and over again!

Full of great paradoxes, variations, discussions, and criticisms. Also a very accessible read!

I really enjoyed this book. I expected that it would cover some topics I'm already familiar with, and it did, but it also covered a great deal that was new to me. I also found the coverage of topics I had already encountered to add to my understanding. Overall, I thought it was a thoroughly enjoyable collection of interesting problems, presented in a great way. Recommended

This book contains the ibkt brain teaser I have ever run across that requires inductive reasoning or logic to solve.

Poundstone is really good at writing these "complex subject in layman's terms" books. This one is no exception.
