From Publishers Weekly
In time for the 100th anniversary of the publication of The Wizard of Oz, popular mathematician, pseudo-science debunker, professional literary eccentric and first chairman of the International Wizard of Oz Club Gardner (Classic Brainteasers; The Annotated Casey at the Bat) has cooked up this rather disenchanted bagatelle, mixing fin de (this) siecle satire with references to several childhood classics. As one would expect from the world's premier math puzzle expert, the book contains a little math puzzle. Dorothy, the Scarecrow and the Tin Man want to return to earth for a visit, but how can they get through the fourth dimension that separates Oz from earth? They do find an answer that is topologically sound, although not exactly easy to understand, and arrive back on the planet in time for 1998, where a good movie producer has summoned Dorothy to earth as part of a publicity stunt for a production of one of the Oz books. Another, evil movie magnate has other plans. Unfortunately, the magic of the Oz books doesn't survive arch references to Mayor Giuliani and TV newscasts. Although Gardner's introductory remarks about Oz are inspiring, this sequel (like the Scarecrow after his encounter with the Wicked Witch of the West) is just too disjointed to work.

From Library Journal
Gathering diverse information about the netherworld from myth, religion, literature, theater, art, music, film, television, and pop culture in a single, comprehensive volume, Van Scott offers a broad range of interpretations from hundreds of different sources, highlighting origins and disparities between descriptions (e.g., when describing the underworld depicted in Virgil's Aeneid, she makes reference to features of the underworlds found in Homer's Odyssey and Plato's Gorgias). Listings, organized alphabetically with cross referencing, vary in length from a quarter of a page for "Abbadon," the Hebrew word for destruction found in the Old and New Testaments, to several pages, as when the author highlights the visual appeal and psychological attraction of hell for music video performers. Hundreds of facts relating to hell make this fascinating reading, and Van Scott's fine research and treatment of the material enables the reader to grasp specific points with great depth. All libraries will do well to add such a contemporary title.?Leroy Hommerding, Citrus Cty. Lib. System, Inverness, FLCopyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
