Rezensionen

"It is worth knowing that the book includes numerous sidebars, and provide a kind of primer for the novice. These ensure that readers can come to the book from varied backgrounds without fear of being shut out by jargon or assumed prior knowledge. Political Geometry excels at describing the difficult problem of redistricting because it has managed to showcase the interdisciplinary nature of the problem, giving each facet consideration and weight." (Andrew Schultz, The Mathematical Intelligencer, Vol. 147 (1), March, 2025)
