Summary: I wish to be buried with this book. What a wonderful book.
Comment: I found my first hardcover copy of this book in a library wastebasket! What a treasure. The search for large finite numbers and orders of infinity entertain my students every year. This book along with Flatlands by Abbot, and Innumeracy by Paulos should be required reading for every American mathematics teacher. This book is so very entertaining. Topological discussion of right and left handedness along with the Dali like sketch of the view seen by a fourth dimensional being are classic. Gamow was a master. He brings the edges of mathematics and science to vibrant life. Imagination expands when reading One, Two, Three,... Infinity. Gamow fashions one masterful chapter after another.
