Science & Philosophy: A strange and fascinating journey of ideas laced with wry humor and unforgettable images. The book introduces "the quincunx," a simple geometric pattern that somehow opens up a completely novel way of thinking about anything and everything.

One minute it's solving Einstein's conundrum known as the "twins problem"; the next, it's offering a rational basis for astrology, ESP, or the mysterious oriental energy called qi. It even takes the time to definitively account for the differences between men and women! The book closes by addressing the significance of 2012, the Mayan calendar date everyone's getting so excited about these days.
