Using the art of the middle distance, that which is close enough for humans to draw by hand, the authors, who founded the all-inclusive educational experience they call The Math Circle, approach the concept of infinity through a variety of human minds. They describe the usual suspects (Pythagorus, Descartes, Leibniz) and many who would escape notice in a less-comprehensive work. They work through the mathematics in accessible text and illustrations, pulling in illuminations from an unexpected array of sources, including children's nursery rhymes and fiction of past ages.
