Review

."..many an undergraduate mathematics major never has such a good opportunity to see all these subjects working together. Recommended." D.V. Feldman, Choice ."..a well-written book on the beauty of planar sets...accessible to anyone with a modest knowledge of mathematics and with an aptitude for logical reasoning...an excellent book...recommended to any mathematician who wants to deepen his knowledge of planar sets in a soft' manner..."
