Book Review - How Long Is a Piece of String?: More Hidden Mathematics of Everyday Life by Rob Eastaway

This reads a lot like Horrible Histories but for maths and aimed at an older audience.

I know what I'm going to say is an odd sort of complaint, but I could have done with more book. What there is is gold, but I think they could have gone further into the maths without losing their audience.

That being said I appreciate the practical ways they suggest that a reader can do to to prove the maths in the book and the links to papers which go further into the maths.
