Marilyn vos Savant is an American magazine columnist, author, lecturer and playwright who rose to fame through her listing in the Guinness Book of World Records under "Highest IQ". Since 1986 she has written Ask Marilyn, a Sunday column in Parade magazine in which she solves puzzles and answers questions from readers on a variety of subjects.
I was not really impressed with this book: Vos Savant has written better. The exercises were not well organized and I thought the chapters rather skimpy on information; especially on how the exercises are supposed to relate to the chapters. I thought this book was OK, but I have read much better books on education; and much better books by Vos Savant.
