<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The two works reprinted in this volume are a unique fusion of logical thought and inimitable whimsy. Written by the 19th-century mathematician who also gave us "Alive in Wonderland", they are among the most entertaining logical works ever written, and contain some of the most thought-provoking puzzles ever devised.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this unique fusion of logical thought and inimitable whimsy, Over 350 ingenious problems involve classical logic: logic is expressed in terms of symbols; syllogisms and the sorites are diagrammed; logic becomes a game played with 2 diagrams and a set of counters. Two books bound as one.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Lewis Carroll (1832-98) was the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, a Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University. <i>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland</i> and its sequel, <i> Through the Looking Glass, </i> are rich repositories of his sparkling gifts for wordplay, logic, and fantasy.
