“拿一个苹果切成五块。你能相信这五块可以重新组合，拼成两个与原本形状大小完全相同的苹果吗？你能相信把一颗豌豆切成有限数量的碎块再拼合起来，就能制造出像太阳一样庞大的物体吗？《The Pea and the Sun》的作者Leonard Wapner在初次接触到正是主张这一观点的Banach-Tarski paradox时，也同样难以置信。”“《The Pea and the Sun》记录了促成这一发现的人物、事件和数学...

Stan Wagon 关于 B-T paradox（巴拿赫-塔斯基悖论）的那本书写得绝对绝了，但仅限数学人看。我听说过 Wapner 写的《The pea and the sun》评价不错，是面向普通读者的——比如 http://www.maa.org/reviews/PeaSun.html 和 http://www.ams.org/notices/200609/rev-komjath.pdf 上的书评——但我自己还没读过。（说到 Stan Wagon……
Stan Wagon's book about the B-T paradox is absolutely superb, but for mathematicians only. I've heard good things about Wapner's "The pea and the sun", intended for a lay audience -- e.g., the reviews at http://www.maa.org/reviews/PeaSun.html and http://www.ams.org/notices/200609/rev-komjath.pdf -- but I haven't read it myself. (Speaking of Stan Wagon…
也许是这本《[The Pea And The Sun](https://www.amazon.com/Pea-Sun-Mathematical-Paradox/dp/15688.... 读起来很顺畅，而且尽管它讲的是一个非常复杂的定理，却能以一种通俗易懂的方式把理论数学展现出来。
Maybe this one "[The Pea And The Sun](https://www.amazon.com/Pea-Sun-Mathematical-Paradox/dp/15688.... It reads in a nice flow and shows theoretical math in an understandable way even though it covers a very complex theorem.
