Media Reviews
The book continues to be unputdownable * Philosophy Now *
A chirpy introduction to philosophy through thought-experiments and paradoxes. * The Guardian *
Lightly written, but definitely no dumbing down. A simulating read, the subject ranges wide and far. * Publishing News *
With its wonderful varied selection of topics, plus Cave's admirable lightness of touch, this is one of the most entertaining and thought provoking books I've come across in years. So stop messing around with trivia like Sudoku and give your brain a real treat by buying this book. * Focus Magazine *
