The Freeman Dyson piece is great. The Carlo Celucci piece is awful (but only from the readability, coherency, enjoyability, and correctness standpoints). The others that I read are somewhere in between, but mostly worth reading. This book is on standby until December since I left it with someone I won't see for 6 months.

Like with any anthology, this was a little uneven. A lot of the pieces were too technical for me, and I was actually disappointed with the education/pedagogy section. But it was nice to think seriously about math again. I'd like to see this series succeed, so I'll buy it again next year in spite of its problems.
