Editorial Reviews
Review
‘An excellent book … His exposition treads the fine line with great care and honesty, telling the reader exactly where imaginative and provocative speculation begin, where well-thought-out “recasting” of previous ideas are solidly based. A major strength is the way Wilson has integrated text and diagram – even a reader without much mathematical background will be able to “see” the ideas.’ – Peter R. Gould
