Editorial Reviews

The New York Times Book Review
[Holmes's] sense of humor combined with a talent for explaining difficult concepts through step-by-step visualizations gives this book its charm. The range of engaging and eclectic facts is extraordinary, and the various methods of illustrating them are even more impressive.
—Steven Heller
