Collection of stories about famous contemporary mathematicians, with illustrations.
'… a fascinating and amusing collection of stories about mathematicians and the mathematical world … The pace is quick and I have to admit that I read it in one sitting and then left it by the loo so that I could skim through again looking for my favourites … I hope that a really wide audience will read it as it brings to life a world that most people cannot imagine.' The Mathematical Gazette
