This book contains discussions of a wide variety of paradoxes and similar phenomena, including those of Newcombe, Hempel (confirmation, or the ravens), Stevenson (the bottle), Protagoras (the law teacher), the stone (omnipotence), Epimenides (the liar), Curry, the barber, Grelling, and change of state (death). The discussion is clear and insightful, the references full, but the translation is unidiomatic (e.g., ``parentheses'' for ``quotation marks'', ``Möbius ribbon'' for ``Möbius strip'') and there are a number of typographical errors.
