Simplicity and Complexity in Games of the Intellect

By Lawrence Slobodkin

Book Overview

If it were necessary, for some curious legal reason, to draw a clear line between human and nonhuman - for example, if a group of australopithecines were to appear and one had to decide if they were to be protected by Fair Employment Laws or by the ASPCA - I would welcome them as humans if I knew that they were seriously concerned about how to bury their dead. In this way Slobodkin takes us on a spirited quest for the multiple meanings of simplicity in all facets of life.
