Tangrams are ancient Chinese, ingenious puzzles. They are deceptively simple in design, yet can stump even the most seasoned of puzzlers. Then, the light clicks on and the answer suddenly seems so obvious. It's amazing that so many puzzles can be solved with the exact same 7 shapes. The Tangram Fury Science Book has a series of original puzzles representing fun, science-related images, all done up as tangram puzzles. These include such things as scientists that are both ingenious and perhaps a bit unlucky. There are also plenty of telescopes, microscopes, computers and such. There are even a few candles in honor of ancient scientists. A few rockets and space objects are included for some of the discoveries science has uncovered. Following a brief introduction to tangrams, the main portion of the book provides challenging or whimsical puzzles to solve. The book is arranged to show a silhouetted puzzle, followed by its solution. This is followed by tidbits and trivia about tangrams and some famous people who have tinkered with tangrams over the years. (Can you solve the unsolvable "Mad Hatter" tangram created by Lewis Carroll?) It also provides some tips and suggestions for those with a competitive streak. The text sections of the books in this series are essentially the same, but the heart of the book - the part that includes the tangram puzzles - remains unique. Most of the puzzles have been designed by the author, Doug Nufer. Go on! What are you waiting for? Give it a try! You just might get hooked...
