Behind One Door Is an Award. . . .

Huzzahs are in order for SciBling Jason Rosenhouse, whose entertaining and informative book The Monty Hall Problem: The Remarkable Story of Math's Most Contentious Brainteaser (2009) made Amazon.com's annual list of the ten best science books. Not bad for a book which actually has equations in it!

(Conflict-of-interest disclaimer: I was sent an Advance Reader Copy of The Monty Hall Problem and I really enjoyed reading it; so, feeling guilty about not finishing reviews of books I got for free, I try to compensate by posting brief, laudatory notes.)

I was always slightly surprised that no one had written a book dedicated to the Monty Hall Problem. It seemed a natural. Glad to hear that you enjoyed; I'll have to go track down a copy for myself now.
