Summary
Tiling theory provides a wonderful opportunity to illustrate both the beauty and utility of mathematics. It has all the relevant ingredients: there are stunning pictures; open problems can be stated without having to spend months providing the necessary background; and there are both deep mathematics and applications.
Furthermore, tiling theory happens to be an area where many of the sub-fields of mathematics overlap. Tools can be applied from linear algebra, algebra, analysis, geomet…

Critics Review
“In his book, Adams provides many fantastic hiking paths suitable for a wide range of readers. The paths are all walkable, and there is no need to bring ropes or carabiners. The hiking paths contain many scenic points where we can take rest and see interesting tilings. Occasionally along the path, the dimension leaps from 2 to 3. A hiker might notice that the metric system changes from Euclidean to hyperbolic. The paths are open-ended with the possibility that a hiker constructs a brand new path to a new scenic point.” - Keiko Kawamuro (University of Iowa), AMS Notices
