Moscovich, a celebrated puzzle inventor, makes a compelling case for puzzle solving as a means of developing creativity and even intelligence.' American Scientist.   'The Puzzle Universe is a quixotic, informative and enlightening encyclopedia of recreational mathematics. It should prove to be an inspiration to mathematical idlers, and a rich resource for learners and teachers who wish to be attuned to the playful and creative side of mathematics.' Mathrecreation Blog.   The Puzzle Universe is intended for general readers and devoted puzzlers but it has also found its way into school libraries and curricula. It is about the latent beauty of mathematics, its history and the puzzles that have emerged from the science of numbers. It is full of challenging historical facts, thinking puzzles, paradoxes, illusions and problem solving.   A historical and pedagogical dimension sets The Puzzle Universe apart. The 315 puzzles are described in extended captions that explain in easy terms the story of the puzzles’ origins and attempts to solve them, the value of puzzles to education, and the development of the mathematical sciences in light of recent research and unmet challenges.   The puzzles appear in a dynamic layout for a visual experience that is the author’s trademark. There are ten chapters complete with answers.  Icons rate the challenge and indicate the tools needed (pencil, scissors, ruler and, of course, your thinking cap).

The intrinsic perspective allows us to tell stories about our lives, to chart our anger and our lust, to understand our psychologies. The extrinsic allows us to chart the physical world, to build upon it, and to travel across it. These perspectives have never been reconciled; they almost seem to exist on different planes of thought. Only recently, due to the pioneering work of DNA-discoverer Francis Crick, have these two perspectives been conjoined. This attempt to reconcile these perspectives is the science of consciousness, and posits that the intrinsic aspect of the world, how and what we perceive, can coexist in the extrinsic part of the world, in the realm of physics. \u003ci\u003eThe World Behind the World\u003c\/i\u003e is a grand tour of the state of this science, an exploration of the point where tectonic metaphysical forces meet, often in paradoxical conclusions. Dr. Erik Hoel lays out the evidence that nothing in the brain makes sense except in the light of a theory of consciousness. Some topics he examines include what the similarities are between our brains and black holes; where consciousness fits into physics and morality; and why it may be impossible for AI to ever become conscious, despite popular belief. What does the science of consciousness tell us about what happens beyond brain death? Does our understanding of consciousness strengthen or weaken the case for free will? Is science itself incomplete in the way G del showed mathematics is? By taking us through the heated debates of the field and drawing on Hoel's own original research to shed light on the latest theories about how the brain creates consciousness, \u003ci\u003eThe World Behind the World\u003c\/i\u003e shows us that at long last, science is coming to understand the fundamental mystery of human existence.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50353551376657,"sku":"CIN0486482391G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50785870053649,"sku":"GOR009407272","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51423548801297,"sku":"CIN0486482391VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0486482391.jpg?v=1751197822"},{"product_id":"monty-hall-problem-and-other-puzzles-book-ivan-moscovich-9780486482408","title":"Monty Hall Problem and Other Puzzles","description":"Television host Monty Hall used to ratchet up the suspense on his game show, Let's Make a Deal, by offering contestants a last-minute chance to change their minds.
