A new comicbook (or graphic novel) called &#8216;Logicomix: An Epic Search for Truth&#8217; has just been published by Bloomsbury. Described as: <em>&#8216;it&#8217;s the story of the quest for the foundation of mathematics, starring and narrated by Bertrand Russell, the British logician, philosopher, mathematician, reformer, pacifist, activist, jailbird and chronic womaniser. It&#8217;s set 50 years ago on 4 September, 1939, when Russell arrived at an American university to lecture on &#8220;The Role of Logic in Human Affairs&#8221; before a sceptical audience, just after Britain had declared war on Germany. The book delves into Russell&#8217;s past, his childhood and the first inklings of his search for the certainties upon which maths, and therefore all science, ultimately rest.&#8217;<\/em><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div>A real page-turner.
