Sinopsis
From the reviews of the hardcover edition: ...This conference [...to celebrate the centennial of the birth of Escher] resulted in an immensely interesting collection of articles ...Although Escher himself is no longer among us, M.C.Escher's Legacy, like a garden of continually blooming flowers, allows us to appreciate his heritage anew. Notices of the AMS April 2003 ...It is a handsome volume, and contains articles from 41 people, which cover a wide range of artistic and analytical endeavour...A quick dip into each section produces small gems...there is enough here to provide rich pickings for any interested party, no matter what their particular discipline is. Embedded in the various articles are even snippets which illuminate Escher's intentions, and his relationships with his mathematician friends ...Even though short, these are rewarding to read...the CD-ROM ...is an excellent addition to the book, and contains much more material, including "video" excerpts from some of the lectures." Australian Math. Soc. GAZETTE May 2003

Críticas
.,."The book is lavishly illustrated with more than eighty of Escher's work on show and, to indicate the extent to which he was influenced by mathematical ideas, one only has to consider the titles given to some of the works ...The whole book is a visual delight. Most of the articles are very readable and they constitute a very wide range of insights into Escher's world. There are, however, three papers that are mathematically challenging and that nicely round off the book with in-depth analysis of some of them... In summary, the book is entirely challenging in the sense that it provides a multifaceted exploration of the work of a man whose life was a continuum or artistic and mathematical achievement. If you send away for an inspection copy, I reckon you'll keep it (and pay for it of course!)." P.N.Ruane, The Mathematical Gazette March 2005 .,." Is there an Escher print that captures this book? Not just one. Just as the editors of the book drew upon multiple authors' perspectives, so too multiple Escher prints would be required to characterise this book graphically. In many ways reading it was like reading Metamorphose II from left to right (as in the Emmer video clip on the CD-ROM). Each article is connected to the previous one, sometimes in surprising ways that force one to stop and think, but at the same time the articles are as different as birds and buildings. ... A very important element of the book is the CD-ROM. It inclused articles, sets of illustrations, video clips, and software; indeed the CD-ROM should be read in parallel with the book. The images on the CD-ROM provide a much richer complement to the texts than the figures in the book can. ... Noteverything in this book will interest everyone, but there is a great deal here for anyone who has ever been struck by an Escher print, and been provoked to think about it afterwards."
