Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas R. Hofstadter Vintage Books 1980
Title: Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid
Author: Douglas R. Hofstadter
Format: Softcover
Publisher: Vintage Books 1980
Edition: Reprint
ISBN: 9780394745022
Size: 9.1 X 5.7 X 1.5 inches * 777 pages.
Synopsis: Everything is a symbol, and symbols can combine to form patterns. Patterns are beautiful and revelatory of larger truths. These are the central ideas in the thinking of Kurt Gödel, M.C. Escher, and Johann Sebastian Bach, perhaps the three greatest minds of the past quarter-millennium. In a stunning work of humanism, Hofstadter ties together the work of mathematician Gödel, graphic artist Escher, and composer Bach. Gödel, Escher, Bach, a Pulitzer prize-winning treatise on genius, explores the workings of brilliant people's brains with the help of historical examples and brainteaser puzzles. Not for the dim or the lazy, this book shows you, more clearly than most any other, what it means to see symbols and patterns where others see only the universe. Touching on math, computers, literature, music, and artificial intelligence, Gödel, Escher, Bach is a challenging and potentially life-changing piece of writing.
Overall Condition: Very Good with solid binding and clean unmarked text; see images.
