And another great paperback: A Mathematician Reads the Newspaper by John Allen Paulos (Penguin, 拢6.99, ISBN 0 14 025181 2). Our reviewer described the book as 鈥渕andatory reading for every journalist 鈥� as well as the readers, viewers and former tutors they supposedly serve鈥� when it appeared in hardback last year. Paulos will take you through the maths that underlie ordinary life in lucid prose, with sympathy and wit.
