A hefty tome covering numerous mathematical topics that takes as its starting point the title and then wanders off in various direction. I read some sections in detail and learned a few things but skipped through a lot of the rest without completing the book to the end. It is also very much too wordy. The mathematics and logic as presented are comprehendible, I believe, without advanced degrees but leaves me feeling bloated with lecture material. The writer although qualified in the subjects, should have tried to stick closer to logic, games, and gambling and cutting it short to 300 pages rather than double (or a second edition, if needed).
