Book Synopsis"A gripping guide to the modern taming of the infinite." —
New York TimesTrade Review"
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
"[Wallace] brings to his task a refreshingly conversational style as well as a surprisingly authoritative command of mathematics…A success." -- John Allen Paulos - American Scholar
"Wallace is the perfect parachute buddy for a free fall into the mathematical and metaphysical abyss that is infinity." -- Dennis Lim - Village Voice
"All the grace of pure mathematics without the parts that make me want to bang my head against the wall." -- Daniel Handler - Newsday
"Shockingly readable…a brilliant antidote both to boring math textbooks and to pop-culture math books that emphasize the discoverer over the discovery." -- Booklist (starred review)
