Here is the ideal gift for any and every comics reader of the math and/or logic persuasion, as well as those intrigued by the developments in these fields that led to Alan Turing's breakthroughs that made computers possible and so indirectly gave birth to the information age amidst which we currently find ourselves.  This engaging and highly readable graphic account the history of mathematics and logic during the first half of the twentieth century is recommended for anyone looking for a solid read.  Employing the dramatic device of linking all the historical events to the life of the philosopher/mathematician, Bertrand Russell, and bracketing the story with a self-referential account of its creation in the present, the authors have managed the difficult feat of simultaneously educating and entertaining the reader in equal measure.  Needless to say (but, as all of you reading this well know, that has never stopped us before and we see no reason to let it start stopping us here) this book is packed with potential to be the perfect holiday gift for any mathematically inclined comics reader.  Learn plenty more about it at:  http://www.logicomix.com
