To Infinity and Beyond by Eli Maor. ISBN 0-691-02511-8. Subtitled: A cultural history of the infinite. This book has four main sections. Infinity is discussed in terms of numbers, geometry, art and science. I think I enjoyed the numbers section the most. The art section discussed the art of M.C. Escher and tiling. Purchased at Powell's, 10.95.
