well researched, poorly written
My first exposure to this author. Well researched, but I think it could have used some more colorful writing. I know it is more of a historical document, but I reallt think Mr. Pickover could of had a lot more fun with it. Plus, there are many, many medical mysteries that aren't even touched. I wish he would have more compare and contrasting. Easy read.

Strange biological realities
I'm an avid Pickover fan, and I found this book to be a very interesting diversion from his usual hard science writing. As the book reports, Mary Toft was a young woman who lived in the 17th century. She had a peculiar passion and appeared to give birth to something inhuman. From that moment onward, she was plunged into a world she never dreamed existed -- a dark, medical subculture flourishing in the King's court. Mary careened out of control, a pawn in the hands of the powerful while she forced her contemporaries to question their most basic beliefs.

This book describes many medical oddities, modern day hoaxes, and sexual superstitions. Mary Toft was the Monica Lewinsky of the 1700s. Both women elicited a barrage of media coverage, jokes, and national shame. Monica's story cast a bad light on American politics; Mary's affair placed the eighteenth-century London physicians in a bad light.

Other topics discussed in the book: multiple personality disorder, child abuse, hypnosis, repressed memories, Torquemada, sexuality in the Bible, fringe science, psychic surgery, Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Fox sisters, spiritualism, Piltdown man, Joanna Southcott, Joanna, virgin birth, alligators in sewers, gerbils, LSD, sooterkins, cadaver art, UFOs, garadiavolo, Cottingley Fairies, Cardiff giant, Feejee mermaid, cryptozoology, witchcraft, vomiting frogs, obsessive compulsive disorder, rectal objects, dinosaur fossils, the state of medicine in the 1700s, the effect of the mind on how we perceive reality...

Wow, what a topic!
I bought this book the other day, and I have to say I never saw anything like it. The best part was that the story is true. There really was Mary Toft who seemed to give birth to rabbits. One warning: there are some strange "side stories" here that you might need a strong stomach to read. But when you finish the book, you will have learned a lot about history and medicine and science. Well written. Fast pace. Nice figures.

Flippant clunker -- uneducated.
What is one to make of a book that ignores 3000 years of work on the central topic so as to take matters resolved centuries ago and hype them up as novelty "gotchas"?

By analogy, what would one make of a 6th grader sending a college physics department his proof that "E<>MC^2" because E, as the 5th letter, M as the 13th and C, the 2nd, don't add up? Seriously. It's that bad. The image of the author standing on the shore skipping stones across the surface of a deep ocean came to mind quickly.

There is a field called "theology" for which it is historically and epistemologically correct to describe modern science and logic as being subsidiary branches.

While not all answers are in hand even now, most issues raised in the book have histories that extend back centuries or more. The author displays almost no awareness of this. The primary sources are atheists, agnostics and skeptics currently living. Most such people have never encountered serious theology in their lives; everything they know of religion is gleaned from what other atheists say or from caricature figures like Jim and Tammy Faye Baker. So the author keys off of quotes from lawyer Alan Dershowitz and random people who have sent him e-mail on the Internet.

Theology is a difficult subject because people usually approach God by projecting themselves onto an immense scale. Thus, there is certainly much garbage out there (95% of it). And Pickover weaves as much of it together as he can, while leaving out the brilliant analysis of thinkers from Augustine to Aquinas that have shaped the modern world and given birth to science itself.

If your time is valuable and you are seriously interested, better books are "The Existence and Attributes of God" (Charnock). Or "Eternal God" (Helm), "Systematic Theology" (Geisler), "The Battle for God" (Geisler), "In Defense of Miracles", "Warranted Christian Belief" (Plantinga)

These may be harder to read than Pickover's (no cartoons); theology has technical words with precise meanings, as does physics and other fields of study. Careful thinking requires clarity in meaning, the preservation of subtle distinctions. One should expect to have to learn things to advance a well-developed discussion -- not amble into the physics department wagging your finger about how the "gravitational immutability of color demonstrates the paradox of orangeness surrounding depth of vibration".

Here are some concepts relevant to understanding God as Christians do:

Aseity -- self-existence. God is pure actuality with zero potential. He cannot be anything other than He is. All other beings have actuality and potential and are contingent. Humans endure a state of progressive actualization.

Simplicity -- God is absolutely simple and indivisible. Simpler than a hydrogen atom. No "parts" or divisibility, yet a living being.

Necessity -- God is a necessary being. Not being contingent, he has no potential for non-existence.

Immutability -- unchangeability; change implies unactualized potential and is a tensed (time-dependent) concept.

Eternal -- God exists outside of time and space. He is aware of the universe's past, present and future simultaneously and eternally. Eternity does not mean "endless time", but the absence of time. God is aware of all places and times at once and directly, without intermediary agents. From God's point of view, the universe was never created, it is eternal. It is created only as seen from the point of view of beings in time. Time is the progressive actualization of things with potentiality.

The universe is neither small nor large to God; these are intrinsically spatial terms relevant only to creatures in space. Carl Sagan's observation that there must be alien life otherwise the "universe would be a waste of space" imposes human perceptions on God. 12 billion light years or the nucleus of an atom -- neither large nor small to God because he is not similarly dimensioned.

One of the most common problems in the book is to phrase the discussion using words that have subtle spatial and tensed meanings -- the paradox is drawn by mixing concepts improperly.

Relatability -- God, as eternal and unchanging, is not dependent on anything. Everything else is defined relative to Him. When the Bible speaks of God's "anger" being kindled, it is a clarifying anthropomorphism describing the result of people changing relative to God. Biblical Hebrew had 3000 words to choose from to communicate subtle concepts across thousands of years. It does so very well to the careful reader, but moderns prefer not to understand.

When you strike a match, the match moves while something else doesn't. Similarly, people change their position/potential with respect to God who doesn't change. Sort of like holding a glass upside down under a waterfall, saying it is empty, then turning it up and, as it fills, claiming turning the glass over "turned on" the waterfall. The waterfall is the same, your position has changed relative to it. So it goes with God's seeming "changes".

The history, basis, reasoning and analysis of these issues is fascinating. Those interested in "Paradoxes of God" might want to look into the real deal. Theological students at conservative seminaries might enjoy this book for the light-recreation of picking it apart in late night bull sessions. Of course liberal seminaries would adopt it as a text.

An apparent paradox is one way of saying you don't understand the subject. Science has learned this over and over. Hopefully the author's "science of omniscience" will too. -- archimedes_tritium.

Truth vs Disgruntled Fundamentalists
This book obviously hit hard on the Christian mentality of a previous reviewer. I think this book is enlightening. It opens up the obvious paradoxes that have always existed and lays bare a Truth that is self evident in it's simplicity. "Reducing the complex to the simple is the mark of a genius".

Excellent, easy-to-read sampling of a difficult topic
This book covered numerous Biblical curiosities, so, surprisingly, the more I learned about religious paradoxes, the more I learned about Bible mysteries. Pickover's breezy style made the difficult subjects easier to understand. My favorite chapters were:

1. The Paradox of Omniscience
6. The Devil's Offer
7. The Revelation Gambit
9. The Brain and God: Who's in Charge?
10. The Bodhisattva Paradox
13. Two Universes
14. The Paradox of Uzzah
15. The Paradox of Dr. Eck
16. The Paradox of Led Zeppelin

I plan to show this to a friendly priest to get his opinion on the subject.

An interesting collection of puzzles
In this book, Clifford Pickover creates a collection of substitution ciphers where the characters to be replaced are original to Pickover, appeared in literature or are from ancient languages. Runes are stick like figures used in Northern European countries into the sixteenth or seventeenth century. More than just characters in an alphabet, they were also used for magic and divination. Many of the problems are expressed using runes, which makes them appear more difficult than they are.
The core of the book is a series of 100 quotations or expressions encoded via a substitution cipher. While some are challenging, after you do a few, many become rather easy. An unencrypted, explanatory message appears with most of them, and in the case of quotations, the message reveals who the author is. Since that persons name is coded at the bottom, once you know the name and how the attribution appears, the problem is half solved.
Nevertheless, the book did keep my interest, although in many cases, I found myself converting the given characters into the English alphabet before attempting to solve the problem. There is also a chapter containing seventeen puzzles that together make up a contest. The first five who solve all seventeen will earn a set of small prizes.
If you are a fan of puzzles, you are always on the lookout for new ones. While most are not true stumpers, the use of the unusual characters does make them more difficult and it held my interest throughout. Solving these problems will keep everyone but experts involved for some time. If you find yourself overwhelmed, solutions to all but the contest problems are in the back of the book.

Pickover's puzzling nature strikes again
Clifford Pickover truly seems to be a Renissance man. His previous forays into conundrums and puzzles have ranged from time travel to hyperspace to infinity.

This time, its cryptography. While some of the aspects of these puzzles might be hard for some novices, and I could wish for room and space to more easily work on the puzzles, the puzzles themselves are a joy to play with.

If you like cryptographic analysis, enjoyed Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, or want to try a brain teaser of a different sort, then you might want to delve into Cryptorunes.

An entertaining book of mind puzzles and exercises
If you have time to spare and a desire to exercise your mind in an entertaining way, then take a look at this book.

It is not *just* a puzzle book, there is plenty of fact and anecdote to interest you as well. The main theme of the book is simple cryptography, as described in the works of Conan Doyle and Edgar Allen Poe. Obviously you cannot decipher relatively modern cryptograms such as those produced by the Germans in the last world war without a lot of time and a computer, but in previous times when the average person was a lot less well educated many simple codes were baffling to most readers and could maintain secrecy.

Understanding how these simple cyphers work and may be "broken" is the first step to understanding modern cryptography.

Not worth the time
I am a big fan of this author, but this book falls VERY short. He comes up with obscure patterns that you must try to solve. Here is an example of his work (that I'm making up):

What is the next number?
2, 4, 6, 8, ?

The answer is 2. Why? It's because I'm only doing even number less than 10. This is typical of his "puzzles". There is no logic to them, simply guessing. I suggest reading his other books or finding a different brain-teasing book.

Earth bound, but astronomically difficult, mind benders
Disregarding the Earth encountering a planet-busting meteor, the most traumatic event that the human race could experience is to learn of the existence of an extra-terrestrial intelligence. Humans are more sensitive about the perceptions of their intelligence than any other characteristic. Which would make the knowledge of a species of superior intelligence the cause of an outbreak of planet-wide paranoia.
Pickover uses this as a premise to present a series of puzzles and create a little intellectual paranoia in his readers. Most of these puzzles are hard, although he does take pity and provide detailed solutions. Hopefully any alien in the same position will be as tolerant. And he also raises some very serious points of debate. What is the proper gift for an emissary from another planet? A human body part or a priceless Van Gogh? What one message would provide the most information to a human society attempting to rebuild a civilization? Which is more important, belief in God or the existence of God?
Once again, Pickover demonstrates his exceptional ability to pose unusual and challenging questions. Perhaps there is a grain of truth in the premise to the book.

The truth is out there...
Perhaps lots of you remember this phrase from the TV series "X-Files"; well, let me tell you something, Pickover did it again! Supporting the main story of the book in some kind of "X-Files" chapter, Dr. Clifford Pickover bring to us this hyper-interesting text. For many centuries, the great philosophers and scientists of the world thought that our lives were confined to a 3D (three dimensional) space, namely, only with length, breadth and thickness. These people thought that it was impossible to conceive a 4D world (fourth dimensional) because one cannot arrange a fourth axis at a right angle respect to the well-known X, Y and Z axis; and, if nobody could fix the problem in a logic way, it turns out that a fourth dimension might contradict nature. This manner of thinking affected the evolution of science in many aspects. The human being had to learn that NOTHING HAPPENS IN CONTRADICTION TO NATURE, ONLY IN CONTRADICTION TO WHAT WE KNOW OF IT. Luckily, men like Minkowski and Einstein had minds that were out of this world and thanks to them, and many others of course, the so-called fourth dimension was accepted as a part of the Minkowski's Space-time; a Space-time that was warped in the upcoming years by the Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. Since that time, many books about the fourth dimension have been written in order to make public the yet ill-understood knowledge of higher dimensional worlds. The book now featured by Dr. Pickover makes a great approach to that goal. The text presents the basic theory of higher dimensions in a way easily understandable to anyone. I just love the Pickover's manner of writing because he always finds the exact blend of humor, fiction and knowledge. The book is plenty of diagrams, draws and representations that make the reading something very delightful and, as usual, it has the computer code of almost every computer simulation. The text also presents many examples of 3D projections of 4D objects that help the reader to visualize the hyperspace, besides many mind-boggling puzzles and theological question. By the end, the author briefly explains some interesting theories related to the hyperspace; a dimension in which our space is embedded (and also curved) and where is possible that two points, far away in our 3D universe, come very closer, even communicate each other. This kind of cosmic bridge is known as a wormhole. If you want to learn more about wormholes and space travel using them, I recommend you "Black Holes and Time Warps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy" by Kip Thorne. That is an equations-free book and a good place to begin your hyper-adventure in the modern physics.

A Four-Dimensional World for Imaginative Minds
The four-dimensional world treated in this book is not the space-time of the theory of relativity, but the world with a fourth spatial direction different from all the directions of our normal three-dimensional space. A number of books on the fourth dimension had already been published. So, why did Pickover, an IBM researcher who published many popular books, write this book? He gives an answer in the preface: The main purpose of the book is to tell the reader the physical appearance of four-dimensional beings, what they can do in our world, and the religious implications of their penetration into our world, with a few simple formulas and computer programs to aid the understanding of the four- and more-dimensional spaces (those who are not interested in computing can easily skip them).

The author presents an SF story, in which an FBI agent, "you," gives personal lectures on hyperspace to his younger fellow agent Sally. Finally they both experience surfing into a four-dimensional world. Meanwhile the reader learns concepts and terms such as "hyperspheres," "tesseracts," "enantiomorphic," "extrinsic geometry," "quaternions," "nonorientable surfaces," etc. The author succeeds in achieving his aim rather well by the use of many illustrations and computer graphics, though he cites too much from Edwin Abbott's "Flatland" in early chapters and from Karl Heim's "Christian Faith and Natural Science" in later chapters.

The book has nine Appendixes (one is a list of SF stories and novels about the fourth dimension), "Notes" and "Further Readings" sections, and Addendum about recent publications dealing with parallel universes and cosmic topology. These are also interesting and informative. This is a good book especially for theologians, philosophers, artists, and general readers who like wild imaginations or computer experiments. To the serious reader who wants to know the implications of hyperspace in modern physics, I would like to recommend Michio Kaku's "Hyperspace."

collaborations not for Anthony
Spider Legs was just plain awful. No offense to Mr. Pickover, who, it seems is the main author of this book, but you are going to need a little more practice. Piers Anthony is the author who, along with Heinlein and Uris, made me want to read. This slapping your name onto someone else's book is awful. If you actually claim responsibility for this, it's even worse. Natalie Sheppard and her lover, Nathan are both very one-dimensional characters. So are Elmo, Martha and Lisa. The two most interesting characters in the entire book are dispatched in the first 50 pages. I found it difficult to fathom the tone of most of the chapters. The action of the pycno attacks was disjointed and confusing. The adjectives and adverbs used were annoying and repetitive. Did I mention repetitve?, oh yeah, and repetitive. You want good Anthony? Read the incarnations of immortality, Tatham Mound, Apprentice Adept, Macroscope, Battle Circle, Bio of a Space Tyrant, Chthon, even the fluffy Xanth series, but avoid Spider Legs...

Fascinating, scary, odd characters, great setting
I enjoyed this book very much for its odd characters and chillingly scary sea creatures. At times, the suspense was very high and the book hard to put down. The New Foundland setting was haunting and beautiful, and I don't think readers will have ever read a book quite like this! It is strange and absurd, biological, mystical, mythical. Hard to describe. You can't go wrong with this book.

Incredible action! Interesting science. Buy it.

I really loved some of the characters in the book, especially Martha, the woman with long fingers. I couldn't put the book down and found the unusual sequence of events to be a masterpiece of oddness and scariness -- in the spirit of Vonnegut, Hitchcock, and other geniuses who combine adventure, fear, and wonder. I see some of the reviewers nitpicking at plot "absurdities," but these are precisely what makes the book fascinating. If you read the book a few times, you'll find that the odd logic fits together, and all events are quite plausible, or at least possible, given the complex situations. Buy this book, and feed your head. I hear it's a bestseller.

Good, if you're 5 years old
The puzzles ..., and they're boring. If you have money to waste, then this calendar is for you.

The only puzzles that take more than 5 minutes to solve are the scrambled famous phrases. Wow! ...

On top of all this, most puzzles have gazillions of solutions. here is an example of a supposedly "Mind-Bending" puzzle in the calendar:

"Hazardous is a commen English word that ends in 'ous'. Can you name three others?"

Oh please! Spare my brain!

Please do not buy this calendar. Any other puzzle calendar will be better. Or at least, it won't be worst.

Mediocre Collection of Puzzles
I'm an admitted puzzle-hound, and have three different subscriptions to GAMES Magazine just to prove it. This year I promised myself I was going to find a day-to-day calendar with puzzles for every day, and Cliff Pickover's Mind-Bending Puzzles was the first one I found, so of course I bought it.

I'm only into February now, and I'm getting more and more frustrated with the puzzles. The straight-up puzzles, like the cryptograms and the anagrams, are enjoyable and satisfying, but when he gets into the mathematical puzzles, I find myself frustrated because Mr. Pickover doesn't explain the rules well enough. Today's puzzle, for example, asks me to switch two pairs of numbers so that all the rows, columns, and diagonals equal the same sum, and the example given uses two adjacent numbers. After 15 minutes of trying to figure this puzzle out, I look to the answer, and discover that the numbers switched aren't consecutive. Maybe GAMES Magazine has spoiled me, but if they had a puzzle where any numbers anywhere could be switched out, they'd let me know that in the instructions.

If you're a puzzle-hound, too, then you might do well to skip this one and go for the Mensa puzzle calendar (if you can still find one). I bought one at an end-of-season sale at the mall, and am much happier with that one -- the puzzles are more varied, more original, and much more intuitive.

All kinds of puzzles
This calendar is like a puzzle book with a wide range of puzzles: visual puzzles, mazes, mathematics, "situation" puzzles that challenge you to think from an alien perspective, and more. A great gift for smart friends.
