"David Foster Wallace brings his intellectual ambition and bravura style to the story of how mathematicians have struggled to understand the infinite, from the ancient Greeks to the nineteenth-century mathematical genius Georg Cantor's counterintuitive discovery that there was more than one kind of infinity." [publisher copy] "EVERYTHING AND MORE is, in nearly every way, a gift. It's a thoughtful and witty 300-page testimonial to the qualities I never fully understood that mathematics possessed: Math is astonishing and full of 'shadowlands,' and--ultimately--stunning beauty."--Anthony Doerr, Boston Globe. "A gripping guide to the modern taming of the infinite."--New York Times Book Review. "Wallace brings to his task a refreshingly conversational style as well as a surprisingly authoritative command of mathematics. . . A success."--John Allen Paulos, The American Scholar. "All the grace of pure mathematics without the parts that make me want to bang my head against the wall."--Daniel Handler, Lemony Snickett. "Given his pan-intellectual dexterity and neurotically analytic zeal, his taste for vicious circles and recursive loops, his ability to locate beauty and comedy in atonal technical jargon, David Foster Wallace is the perfect parachute buddy for a free fall into the mathematical and metaphysical abyss that is infinity."--Dennis Lim, Village Voice. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable. Artikel-Nr. RUB3587
