Title: words & PICTURES
Product review: Cogwheels Of The Mind by A.W. F. Edwards is a pretty and frustrating little book. The text starts out as a history of Venn diagrams, but veers into a trip through Edwards's recent thinking on Venn diagrams [which is the author's prerogative, but does make the subtitle of the book - The Story of Venn Diagrams - a little misleading]. It's all good reading, but given the brevity of the text, I found myself wishing that Edwards had stayed on task a little more. The pictures are stunning! If you're into diagrams like I am, then the pictures will be a feast for your mind. To me the book feels like two well illustrated journal articles or maybe a really small coffee table book. Cogwheels Of The Mind is cool, but flawed.
