4.0 out of 5 stars Take your time with this book - it's too good to rush, 16 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid (Paperback)
A finely structured book, alternating dialogue and discourse in an eternal golden braid (this becomes clear by the end); this book is a gem. If you know nothing about Bach, then at least you will gain an appreciation of his work and history from the first page.Leading from an analysis of musical forms the reader is introduced to the concept of recursion. Building on this,the author expands the theme to include the art of Escher and the mathematics of Godel (art of Godel and Mathematics of Escher? ). With delightful ease you are taken on a journey. By the end, you will know how far you've gone,, you'll have a good idea where you are, and you will remember specific landmarks from the route. Well worth reading, and re-reading too.
