Combining both a knowledge of notable Victorian mathematicians AND fluid illustrations suitable for storyboards, Sydney Padua creates an intelligent and entertaining read. What I do want to point out is the sheer amount of research poured into this work, complete with footnotes that at one point engulf the page in a visual gag that can only be halted by Her Majesty herself. It's like listening to a good friend go on and on about something they're particularly passionate about. Whether or not you share the same amount of investment doesn't matter, it's just so much fun to gain insight on this facet of their interests.
