Martin Gardner, the "Mathematical Games" columnist for Scientific
American from 1956 to 1981, was also a philosopher, polymath,
magician, religious thinker, and the author of more than 70 books,
including The Annotated Alice, The Ambidextrous Universe, and
Visitors from Oz. Here his life and works are celebrated in a
bouquet of essays about him or in his honor. Introduced by his son
Jim, the book includes reminiscences by Douglas Hofstadter, Morton
N. Cohen, Scott Kim, David Singmaster, Michael Patrick Hearn, and
many others; a festschrift contains essays by such writers as
Raymond Smullyan and Robin Wilson. This volume also contains the
final annotations Gardner made to the Alice books post-"Definitive
Edition," and a definitive bibliography of his Carroll-related
writings. While put together under the aegis of the Lewis Carroll
Society of North America, it takes a far broader look at this
remarkable man and his many interests and accomplishments.

Part of an exciting series of sturdy, square-box 1000-piece jigsaw
puzzles from Flame Tree, featuring powerful and popular works of
art. This new jigsaw will satisfy your need for a challenge, with a
popular masterpiece of post impressionism, The Starry Night by Van
Gogh. This 1000 piece jigsaw is intended for adults and children
over 13 years. Not suitable for children under 3 years due to small
parts. Finished Jigsaw size 735 x 510mm/29 x 20 ins. Now includes
an A4 poster for reference. Van Gogh's famous painting was created
from memory during his extended term at the Asylum in Saint-Remy,
towards the end of his life, in 1889. Unlike many of his
masterpieces, very little is known about the motivations for this
piece because it is barely mentioned in the correspondence with his
brother Theo. The surviving letters from this period discuss, and
include preliminary sketches of, so many of his other works, but
there remains an air of mystery about its absence, perhaps
contributing to the success of the work in more recent times. The
Starry Night does capture the essence of Van Gogh's style, with its
strong, textured strokes, sweeping lines of movement, and the
exaggerated detail, all of which point to the anxious turmoil of
the artist's incarceration. The dark towering cypress tree to the
left of the painting overpowers the quiet settlement below, but is
itself dominated by the glowing orbs in the sky. The Starry Night
retains the impression of the world around us, but hints at the
emotions beyond and behind.
